First of all ,I would like to thank for such an inspiring website. I am architect and started my masters on interior design.I came across this article while researching about my thesis. And you inspired me a lot.I developed my subject around 'Can architecture Expand Human Senses' article which is absolutely great. In these days I am looking for some books related to senses and design.Recently I have read Pallassama's 'The eyes of the skin' which was really helpful for me. I will be more than happy if you can recommend me books about senses and design. Many many thanks for this great website with such an interesting articles. As a student I must say It is more than educational. I am looking forward for your reply... Hello! First of all ,I would like to thank for such an inspiring website.

Imagine merging what makes a religious architecture so great with what makes a healthcare facility so great. The religious building often prioritizes design for the mind while the healthcare facility often prioritizes design for the body. By learning from each -- designers can unite what works for each to ultimately create an architectural masterpiece. I think that is what makes amazing architecture so amazing -- the ability to feed the mind, body and even the soul. A wonderful work that illustrates some of these qualities is Sainte Marie de La Tourette, designed by Le Corbusier. It is located in a valley near Lyon, France. Rachel,

I was wondering if you happened to have any particular buildings in mind that successfully attained this in design? I would appreciate any information that you have...I am writing a paper on relating the Gestalt Principles to our 3-dimensional realm. I'm new to the whole RSS feed, so email me (or a little advice on it would be much appreciated). Thanks so much & good thinking!
