Embodiment refers to the process through which the experience of the environment is constructed through the body, integrating perception, movement, emotion, and cognition. This concept recognizes that our relationship with space is not solely visual or rational, but deeply sensory and embodied, shaping how we inhabit and understand urban environments.
