N2 - In order to grasp the character of urban spaces, it is not enough to look at images and plans, read descriptions, or even to browse the area on Google Earth and in 3D, as has been necessitated by the recent global restriction of people’s mobility. Just as we form a first impression when meeting a new person, there is something in every spatial situation that we can only experience in the place itself as we are moving through it, perceiving it both subconsciously and with all our senses: its atmosphere. Constituted not only by built elements, but also by social relations, networks, and activities, atmosphere is what we deal with as architects and urban designers (Wolfrum 2016, pp. 48–51), and something that must be defined in a social and spatial sense when approaching Cosmopolitan Habitat and its cross-cultural and mobile dimension. In order to do this, a new kind of knowledge creation and application is necessary and will be looked at through a process-oriented, multi-perspectival, and interdisciplinaryunderstanding and designing or way of interacting with space, connected to the concept of “urban bricoleurs” as practitioners dealing with cosmopolitan atmospheres.
