An Architecture of The 7 senses

The article is saying about the human senses due to architecture experience by using hear, see, smell, touch and feel.I do believe that most of the building have provide most of them to us and we can feel that.All of the building do brings visual feel to people like hows they mixed the building to the enviroment,sometimes landscape can also brings a different feeling to us due to the architect design,its a visual strategy used on building.The enviroment surround the building provide the feels to people,different enviroment provide different feeling to people.Like the building in the forest and the building in the urban city,both of them create different feeling to people.
And the Material of the building is also a important rule for people to experience the sense.Material have their own texture and the building itself is a structure so that it is easy for us by using our skin to feel it.
For me,i think the enviroment is the most important thing to the building,we can even smell the building through the enviroment,we can having fresh air in the forest but not in the city.

I think the Falling water by frank lloyld wright is well presented all of the experience of senses in architecture.The building is located in a forest which is fullfill with green enviroment.And the architect using a very good strategy like the way he fit the building on it but no demolish the area and its create a better view to us because from the view we can dicrect see through the soul of the building and the forest,its also show the contrast between the building and the enviroment.You can even feel the nature when u are inside the building,the material cheoosing is using the local material which is just taking from the site and the texture on the material brings a strong feeling to people as well.Its is different with those man-made material.Thats the way the architect combine the building with the nature.Because the forest is a very quiet place so u can heard the nature at here,the flow of river,the air movement,the voice from animals.

All of the senses are not hard to apply in a building once u wide used the enviroment and taking benefits on it.A good design that filled with a better site context can brings a great feeling to people.As a basic conclusion here,the word ''enviroment'' is very important to a building,depend on hows the designer gonna used it.
