The project’s architecture draws inspiration from the curves and forms of classic yachts, creating a seamless visual connection with the sea. This represents modern architectural design principles, ensuring a unique aesthetic experience. #architecturedesign#interiordesign#Residentialcomple
How Multisensory Architecture is Redefining Spaces
Have you ever walked into a building and felt an instant sense of calm, energy, or connection—without knowing why? It might be the power of multisensory design at work!
Interesting article, “Multisensory Architecture: Designing Beyond the Visual”, which challenges the traditional visual-centric approach to architecture. Instead, it emphasizes designing spaces that engage touch, sound, smell, and even taste to create deeply immersive human experiences.
This got me thinking:
How can architects and designers prioritize senses like sound or texture without compromising aesthetics?
What spaces have YOU encountered that left a lasting emotional (not just visual) impression?
Could multisensory design improve accessibility for people with visual impairments?
Would you incorporate scent or tactile materials into your projects? Why/why not?
