🌡️ Climate change isn’t coming.
It’s already here — and it’s breaking things.

Runways are melting. Rails are twisting.

We built for a mild world.

That world is gone.

🌟 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?

Let’s spark a conversation! 💬
