For this project, as a group, we had to explore a series of "sites" from which we had to select one as the context with which to work with. Our brief is to "design an instrument, device that may alter, heighten or amplify one or more of the senses and thereby modify the user's perception of architectural space.
Traditionally the five senses are:
Sight - eyes [visual/aesthetic]
Hearing - ears [auditory]
Smell - nose [olfactory]
Touch - skin [tactile receptors]
Taste - tongue [taste buds]
Additionally there are 'secondary' senses that could be included such as; pain, kinaesthetic sense, temperature, balance and direction.
