Sensory Architecture eBook

Originally released in 2017, the book "Sensory Architecture – The Art of Designing for All Senses" by Juliana Duarte Neves receives a second edition in 2024, revised and expanded. Over the past six years, there have been numerous advancements in the study of sensory architecture and many initiatives focused on emotionally engaging the visitor, using the principles of sensory architecture, which has become a gateway to new fields of research. This second edition brings a refinement of the design methodology proposed in the original book and current examples that make its understanding and applicability clearer. And the new chapter "Unfolding of Sensory Architecture" presents two examples of more recent areas of study. "This new edition broadens horizons with the inclusion of two fundamental contributions to the consolidation of the field of sensory architecture studies in Brazil: the excellent reflections made by Lorí Crízel in the text 'The intertwining of sensory architecture with neuroarchitecture: a synesthetic exploration'; and the very personal contribution of Ana Paula Chacur, architect, researcher, and mother of two autistic children – enriches the content with her unique perspective on 'Autism Spectrum Disorder and sensory architecture'," points out Juliana. It is crucial that architecture collaborates so that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) feel safe and balanced.
