The mechanics of spatial intelligence -- How spatial intelligence our mental space -- The disruption of the unity of time, place and architecture, and some precursors of reunification -- Intuitives: confronting spatial intelligence: tracing the use of spatial intelligence -- Pioneers of mental space: tracing the use of spatial intelligence -- New futures for architects: new roles for practitioners -- New professionalism: new practice manifesto.

"Providing an overview of spatial intelligence as a human capability, this book also acknowledges how widespread recognition of it in architectural education and the profession should enable the demystification of the practice of design, forming the basis of a more democratic interface between society and practice. Ultimately, it suggests how spatial intelligence might provide exciting new opportunities for practice in the linking of real and virtual environments in the information age."--Jacket.
