Sense Space

Abstract

This thesis is an effort to bring attention to how people perceive architecture. By refocusing an individual's attention to their perception, the attention can be shifted so they are more aware of the spaces they inhabit. With awareness, architecture can be utilized as a means to which one can enhance them self, becoming aware of the surroundings from which they thrive. Spaces create a certain atmosphere and through a person’s sensory experience, have an emotional response. Understanding how human response can affect the design of architecture is complex, but beneficial for designers. For architects, there are limited ways to assess space and the sensory experience humans have on architecture. As an attempt to graphically analyze space, representations of particles were used to show a density of senses and objects. Thinking about space as an accumulation of density, a design concludes the thesis, meant to create space from which individual’s can perceive.
