Description
Sensory Design by Joy Monice Malnar and Frank Vodvarka explores how our built environment responds to us, rather than just being designed for us. By considering sound, touch, smell, emotion, and memory as equal factors in design, the authors create a new philosophy that celebrates our occupation of space and creates more humane environments. This book examines the nature of our responses to spatial constructs, from buildings to gardens and outdoor spaces, and how they can be calculated to inform design. The authors draw on environmental sciences, anthropology, psychology, architectural theory, and literary analysis to develop a typology for significant spaces that contrasts with traditional Cartesian models. They also discuss the potential of immersive virtual reality technologies like CAVE in furthering sensory-oriented design. The result is a revolutionary approach to designing spaces that engages all our senses and modes of understanding, creating more compassionate and effective environments.
