A Recap on Sensory-driven Architecture Principles for Disabled Persons Specifically
The seven principles of sensory-driven architecture, which focus on engaging human senses to create meaningful and immersive built environments, are often derived from the broader concepts of sensory design.
1. Sight (Visual Engagement)
2. Sound (Acoustic Harmony)
3. Touch (Tactile Experience)
4. Smell (Olfactory Design)
5. Temperature (Thermal Comfort)
6. Movement (Kinesthetic Awareness)
7. Emotional Resonance (Human-Centered Experience)
This episode, Naziaty Mohd Yaacob, discussed the above principles with disabled persons needs in mind.
