In a wide‐ranging interview, Guest‐Editor Ian Ritchie asks Alberto Pérez‐Gómez , the Saidye Rosner Bronfman Professor of the History and Theory of Architecture at McGill University, Montreal, about architecture and human perception. Architecture, Pérez‐Gómez explains, operates as a communicative setting for societies; its beauty and its meaning lie in its connection to human health and self‐understanding.
