ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the question of how design practice and intervention might become involved in making the circumstances through which atmospheres emerge. It provides the conceptual and methodological structure of knowing in, about and through atmosphere to offer particular ways of thinking about how atmosphere might be researched, imagined and created through design. The chapter explores how the relationship between design and atmosphere is articulated, and discusses how people might go about understanding this theoretically, methodologically and in practice. It shows that practice-based and interventional approaches can open new ways to understand how atmospheres are configured, and how the ways they are experienced are affected. The chapter also explores how designers and artists have made interventions that seek to shift the ways it can feel to be in specific localities, processes or situations, and the relevance of this for the making of atmospheres.
