SENSES IN ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

Optimisation of architectural design and its perception involves a comprehensive sensory analysis of the human body response to the stimuli received by the brain. Owing to sensual haptic characteristics, expressed through relevant motor activity, we can reliably create trends among the future users. Proper assessment and sensuality of architecture shall underlie justified, reference parameters predetermining a selection of appropriate measures shaping our daily life context. Opportunities which haptic spatial perception offers facilitate a short-cut in our research to model design processes. Implementation of sensory evaluation methodology into design processes will facilitate a congruent definition of architecture and improve its quality.
