ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses examples oriented specifically towards movement, placing it at the centre of how atmosphere feels and is understood, and what meanings it carries for people. In terms of atmosphere, it follows that a sense of futurity and potential is an important quality of how atmospheres are perceived and constituted when people are in motion. Atmospheres in homes are not only part of mundane everyday life, but also happen within the context of intimate lives and relationships. Indeed, as Pink et al have found, atmosphere provided a useful frame through which to understand how sensory and affective feelings of home are produced in movement as they carried out research encounters in homes. Another crucial aspect of thinking about atmosphere on the move is the anticipatory mode that precedes but also gives meaning to that movement.
