🌟 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! 💬

Sasha Farnsworth talks on
'Architecture meets anthropology: Womb Temple--Lunar Rebirth'

Sasha Farnsworth (with Hossein Sadri) introduces the design of The Womb Temple. This emerges from a growing sentiment that refusing to build is essential to saving our planet from the perils of a changing climate. The Womb Temple postulates that the most effective way to counteract this is by reverting to ancient building techniques using raw stone and live trees, a rebirth for the construction industry.
Transporting these materials to the Manchester site is deliberately slow and labour-intensive, relying on human power rather than machinery. This slower pace allows building to be treated as a ritualistic process - each stone placed annually becomes a celebration.

The temple not only revives traditional building methods but also encourages the reintroduction of nature into urban environments. It becomes a sanctuary for lost animal species and serves as a ritual space where people can spiritually reconnect with the moon, a symbol currently absent from the Manchester skyline, further affirming the renewed connection with nature and the element that governs water, the giver of life.

Graduate of Coventry University, Sasha was recently awarded the RIBA Award for Sustainable Design at Part 1 for her project “Womb Temple: Lunar Re-Birth”. The concept for this proposal was born from her passion for creating environments that support the symbiotic relationship between people and the earth holistically.

Sasha and Hossein will be speaking LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Dept, 14 Taviton St, London WC1H 0BW. Come in good time by 6:30pm before doors close please. You can also join on ZOOM ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak.

the article 👆 also touches on another theme very dear to me since back in the days at the architecture school: empty second (or third) houses that remain unused (or rented for short stays) for the most part of the year. Just a reminder that we don't need more buildings, we need fairer housing policies.

Rehabilitating #Lahaina

After #Hawaii’s worst wildfire killed scores of people in August, local and federal agencies are reckoning with the #ToxicChemicals created when a #BuiltEnvironment burns

By Travis Hartman, Adolfo Arranz, Sudev Kiyada and Simon Scarr
Published Oct. 25, 2023

"In the case of Lahaina, the age of the building helps cleanup crews determine which ruined plots might be more dangerous than others. Older structures were more likely to have used #asbestos, for example - a cancer-causing insulation material now banned in construction. The plantation-era wooden structures from the early to mid 1900s, which fueled the fire’s rapid spread through the town, might have used timber coated in poisonous #arsenic to ward away insects and rot.

"The everyday objects and materials that populate an average U.S. household generally pose no threat. But when #plastic materials, lead pipes, outdated insulation, treated wood or #batteries are engulfed by fire, they can change dramatically for the worse."

"Eco-building and eco-living appear as essential steps in struggling climate change. Impacting both human and natural systems, architectural design plays a crucial role in this process. Scientific fields, such as sociology, economics, ecology and ideology, study ecovillages and intentional communities, but often forget the importance of their built environments. However, history of architecture can provide an original point of view. In this article, ecovillages are studied as whole entities acting on several levels of architectural design—from dwellings to territories, from spatial to social organization, from local to worldwide networks."

NatureEco-building for eco-living, an essential step to face climate change - npj Climate ActionThe article provides an historical overview of ecological design within the context of intentional communities. It explores how this design approach has evolved over time and emphasizes its significant contributions to the struggle against climate change. The key principles used by ecovillages (renewable energies, waste recycling, water consumption, voluntary simplicity and degrowing economies, shared governance) are recalled, bringing into light interactions between eco-housing and eco-living designs at all scales. The paper discusses the various challenges faced by ecovillages, such as the need to deeply articulate their own project to a local territory, while simultaneously being part of international networks. The demonstration argues that ecovillages already act, and could have a wider potential to promote sustainable living if they were considered as “setting an example”. The critical discussion acknowledges the difficulty in quantifying ecovillages’ current contributions. However, for their qualitative potential, they are seen as a valuable and strong potential resource in the fight against global warming. In summary, the article highlights the holistic approach of ecovillages in addressing all climate change issues and suggests considering them as laboratories for “empathic” architecture.

🎭 Accessibility Theater

"You walk into a movie theater. The lights are dimmed, and you hear previews playing. What was your seat number again? You take out your phone to check your ticket: 8G. Cool—now where is 8G? Is G the row number or the seat number? Is it on the side that I walked in from, or do I need to go to another aisle?"
