More-than a Feeling
Publications
Anthony's scholarly work explores phenomenology, embodied cognition, and the atmospheric qualities of architecture - investigating how materials, traces, and temporal processes shape meaningful places. Recent publications focus on AI's implications for architectural pedagogy, examining how emerging technologies intersect with embodied design thinking. His writing spans books, peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, book reviews, and interviews, bridging theoretical rigour with accessible exploration of architecture's affective dimensions.
