Eyes, nose, hands, ears, and tongue, we use these organs to hear, smell, see, feel and touch. we need all of these organs to feel a space or let’s say to feel architecture’s can give a memory or a feel to a place by using these senses while u design a place.
I think mostly architectural designs are relying on one sense, which is the visual one. The other senses are forgotten while a place is designed. This is unfortunate since it is through the senses that architecture can have deep effect. For example, architectural building can more truly relate to the surrounding culture through all of the senses.
Within architectural space it is important to establish a sense of place. This is true not only for the architecture to be good but also for your experience within that space to be memorable. Did you know that your memory and your sense of place are closely linked? Creating an environment involves designing for meaningful experiences to do this, establishing a sense of place is key.
I really think that landmarks and paths are described as important when designing architecture. It seems that both memory and sense of place prominently involve the same part of the brain our memory of events may depend upon a strong sense of place, and by extension, our sense of place may be influenced by the integrity of the memories formed there.
In the book Spaces Speak, Are You Listening, the authors describe how aural spaces evoke feelings and emotions as occupants listen. Interestingly, the authors describe how sound gives a connection between isolate human depending on their closeness to noise levels, a specific sound source or other people. Humans use their sense of hearing to understand space. Sound works together with the other senses to help people navigate and construct understanding of forms objects and distances.
As a conclusion I would like to say is, as the human body moves, sees, smells, touches, hears and even tastes within a space the architecture comes to life.
