This paper also recommends that architects should be aware of these psychological influences for future design a consideration of environmental perception and responses should be taken during interior design, architectural design and urban planning. This paper summarises an approach for architectural design on how to integrate multi-senses into practice and reflect human senses, behaviours and experiences in the realm of environmental psychology. Zumthor is using 9+3 short chapters to show us how he absorbs places and what gives them their unique atmosphere. Such a study is important and essential in order to unite the senses, feelings and experiences together with the traditional architectural design theories and methods, and then understand how we should design and what we should concern about during design.

Atmospheres is a poetics of architecture and a window onto Peter Zumthors personal sources of inspiration.
