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!

Here's something a little different.

It wasn't always gorgeous weather during our stay around the East Neuk of Fife. When it was more gloomy, we headed to Dundee to check the city out.

In particular, the V&A Dundee Museum of Design proved a totally fascinating subject

The striking exterior of the V&A Dundee, emphasising its unique architectural design. The building features a series of layered concrete panels that create a dramatic, angular façade, resembling the hull of a ship. In the foreground, a smooth, reflective surface of water mirrors the structure, enhancing its visual impact. The ground is wet, from recent rain, adding a subdued atmosphere under a cloudy sky. There are a few figures in the scene, providing a sense of scale against the impressive backdrop of the museum. The overall composition highlights both the contemporary design of the building and its harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment.

The interior of the V&A Dundee, showcasing a modern architectural design. The space features a striking wooden wall with layered panels, creating a dynamic visual effect. The floor is made of dark tiles, and there are large glass windows allowing natural light to flood the area. In the centre, a staircase leads to an upper level adorned with wooden seating and displays. People are seen walking through the space, engaging with the environment, while a reception area is visible on the right. The ceiling is lined with horizontal wooden beams, enhancing the contemporary feel of the venue.

A captivating view from within the V&A Dundee, looking out towards the city of Dundee. The foreground features the building's distinctive layered concrete structure, creating a dynamic framing effect around the view. Beyond the architectural elements, the scene reveals a bustling urban environment, with various buildings and pedestrians visible in the distance. The surface beneath is smooth and wet, reflecting the cloudy sky overhead. To the right, a gently curving water feature adds a serene touch to the setting, while the overall composition highlights the contrast between the museum's modern design and the lively cityscape beyond.

Another stunning interior view of the V&A Dundee, focusing on the flowing wooden wall that elegantly curves upward. The scene is viewed from a staircase leading down to the lower level, where visitors can be seen walking. Above, large windows allow ample natural light to brighten the space, and glimpses of the upper level reveal a bustling area with people seated and enjoying their surroundings. The staircase features glass railings and dark tiled steps, while the lower level showcases various exhibits and displays, including signage for "Locke Hall." The overall design combines modern architecture with warm wooden elements, creating an inviting atmosphere.

The layout is a product of its many uses over the years, with the roof garden, dome house and orangery being added later on. I love the layered cake like look of the cross section, emphasised by the two point perspective. Super fun to draw. #design #artdecostyle #mapdrawing #cartographer #cutaway #crosssection #crosssections #twopointperspective #graphic #mapartist #mapart #concert #1920s #architecturalillustration #architecturesketching #architecturedesign 2/2

Many apartment buildings in Europe offer an inner courtyard that can be surprisingly cool to shoot with a camera. #architecture #architecturephotography #architecturedesign
