In architecture, affect, for the most part, continues a Spinozean-Deleuzian lineage of recognising affect as prior to, or autonomous from, emotion and a subject-centred account of the world. This paper considers affect as a potentially materialized and localizable condition capable of being <em>designed for</em>. The paper develops two positions relative to materiality: firstly, a review of theoretical discourse on affect in the context of new materialism; and secondly, an examination of the pedagogical potential of affective and atmospheric materialities via design strategies we have called <em>de-materializing,</em> <em>diagramming</em>, and <em>re-materializing.</em> In conclusion, we offer some observations regarding the potential to design for affect to move us.</p&gt;}, number={15}, journal={Interstices: Journal of Architecture and Related Arts}, author={Kidd, Akari and Smitheram, Jan}, year={2014}, month={Mar.}, pages={82-92} }
