Towards a new art of reading

This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections. / Thesis: M. Arch., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Architecture, 2019 / Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis. / Reading has a long history, marked with shifts in inscription and language and with evolutions in the architectural typology of the library and reading room. How - and what - we read changes over time. Towards a New Art of Reading imagines a future state of readership, affective reading - capturing and illustrating instances of affective reading through the creation of five reading rooms. These speculations do not aim to predict a singular future of reading, but rather position a possible one - alluding to and depicting a reality based on reciprocities identified in past and present forms of reading. These series of instances, or reading rooms, outline a possible, expanding universe of affective reading. / by Anne M. Graziano. / M. Arch. / M.Arch.
