Arquitectura de los Sentidos para la Concepción del Espacio

Abstract

The present study focuses on the emerging issue of a predominantly visual architecture, which has relegated phenomenology to the background and overemphasized surface treatment as the primary tool, thus limiting the spatial experience to mere visual perception. This research addresses this issue from a critical perspective, recognizing the importance of various sensory dimensions in the appreciation and understanding of architectural spaces. Through a comprehensive analysis of specialized literature and relevant case studies, it examines how this reduction in sensory experience affects spatial conception. Additionally, it proposes alternatives and approaches to reclaim and value the phenomenon in the architectural design process, thereby promoting a more sensitive, inclusive, and meaningful practice. Ultimately, this study seeks to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of architecture by offering new perspectives and tools to address current challenges in this design approach.
