Sensorama stimulator. The senses. As critic David Michael Levin puts it: “I think it is appropriate to challenge the hegemony of vision – the ocular-centrism of our culture. (Eds.)
Just think about the use of temperature-hue correspondences (Tsushima et al., 2020; see Spence, 2020a, for a review). However, beyond that, it is also crucial to consider the ways in which the senses interact too.

Article For instance, in June 1986, more that 12% of the workforce of 2500 people working at the Harry S. Truman State Office Building in Missouri came down with the symptoms of SBS over a 3-day period (Donnell Jr. et al., 1989). At the same time, however, while we are largely visually dominant, the other senses can also sometimes drive our behaviour.
In I. Heywood (Ed. Music and Medicine, 11, 211–225. There is, though, always a very real danger of sensory overload if the combined multisensory input becomes too stimulating (see Malhotra, 1984; Simmel, 1995). It should, though, be remembered, that sometimes incongruency may be precisely what is wanted. The effects of auditive and visual settings on perceived restoration likelihood. Cross-modal influences on gustatory perception. Responding to sounds from unseen locations: Crossmodal attentional orienting in response to sounds presented from the rear. Calvert, G., Spence, C., & Stein, B. E. The ICI report on the secret of the senses. (1981). Indeed, many years ago, the famous modernist Swiss architect Le Corbusier (1948) made the intriguing suggestion that architectural forms “work physiologically upon our senses.” Inspired by early work with the semantic differential technique, researchers would often attempt to assess the approach-avoidance, active-passive, and dominant-submissive qualities of a building or urban space. And while a thorough examination of the building subsequently failed to reveal the presence of any particular toxic airborne pollutants that might have been responsible for the outbreak, in the majority of cases, it turned out that the symptoms of SBS were preceded by the perception of unusual odours and inadequate airflow in the building.
(2007). Margolies, E. (2006). When, in his book Architecture and the brain, Eberhard (2007, p. 47) talks about what the sense of taste has to do with architecture, he suggests that: “You may not literally taste the materials in a building, but the design of a restaurant can have an impact on your ‘conditioned response’ to the taste of the food.” Environmental multisensory effects on tasting is undoubtedly an area that has grown markedly in interest in recent years (e.g., see Spence, 2020c, for a review). Paul Binski and Ann Massing Westminster Abbey Chapter House: The History, Art and Architecture of ‘A Chapter House beyond Compare’, ed. (2018). It is important to highlight the fact that while these crossmodal correspondences are often confused with synaesthesia, they actually constitute a superficially similar, but fundamentally quite different empirical phenomenon (see Deroy & Spence, 2013). Under conditions of multisensory conflict, the normally more reliable sense sometimes completely dominates the experience of the other senses, as when wine experts can be tricked into thinking that they are drinking red or rosé wine simply by adding some red food dye to white wine (Wang & Spence, 2019). SXSW March 13th. The advert promised that the newly purchased apartment would “provoke their senses”.
Posner, M. I., Nissen, M. J., & Klein, R. M. (1976). (2000). Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. True to his oculocentric approach, mentioned at the start of this piece, Le Corbusier apparently concentrated on the visual aspects of the “Poème Electronique”, the multimedia show that was projected inside the pavilion. Does a Mechanistic Etiology Reduce Artistic Agency? Carroll, M. (1967). In terms of the cognitive mechanism underlying such crossmodal effects of scent on behaviour, the suggestion, at least in the citrus cleaning example just mentioned, is that smelling an ambient scent that we associate with clean and cleaning then activates, or primes, the associated concepts (Smeets & Dijksterhuis, 2014). (1982).
The sensuous materials and skilfully crafted details of Carlo Scarpa’s architecture as well as the sensuous colours of Luis Barragan’s houses frequently evoke oral experiences. The neuropsychology of 3-D space. Therme Vals spa has been destroyed says Peter Zumthor. The Barclays Center has its own signature scent. Influence of room fragrance on attention, anxiety and mood. A., Crowley, A. E., & Hasty, R. W. (1983). Salgado-Montejo, A., Salgado, C., Alvarado, J., & Spence, C. (2017). At several points throughout his book Pérez-Gómez (2016), stresses the importance of “synaesthesia” to architecture, without, unfortunately, ever really quite defining what he means by the term. A complex array of interactions was observed, with increasing stimulus intensity sometimes enhancing the participants’ comfort ratings, while sometimes leading to a negative response instead. Approaches to significance in recent landscape architecture. Burkus, D. (2016). Elsewhere, Pallasmaa (1994, p. 29) writes that: “The architecture of our time is turning into the retinal art of the eye. Scientific American, 278(February), 86–91.
