ARCH 502A: STORIES OF THE SECOND DECADE

Sensorial Density

To study sensorial density in architecture is to understand ocularcentrism and its ranging impact on the five senses when designing space. The five-part project targets the sub-genres of sensory design, where accessible design, defensive design, universal design, and sensory overload become the main topics in discussing why designers should not see these categories of studies as ways that limit their creativity. Studying forms and interactions between ways of design, a reinterpretation of the House of the Future performs new levels of sensorial understanding within all people. Plans and elevations become interchangeable and enhanced for synergistic movements.
