TOUCH, SMELL AND HEARING IN ARCHITECTURAL SPACE

Despite the fact that, in the vast majority of cases, architectural composition has mainly been based on visual perception, a selection of architects have taken into account the whole sensory spectrum. What is the role and importance of non-visual perception in architectural space? What intentions did architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Tadao Ando, Alvar Aalto, Peter Zumthor and Le Corbusier have when designing spaces with unusual care for touch, smell and hearing?It is to these questions that this book attempts to offer some possible answers.
