Michael KingThe built environment presents almost infinite compositional opportunities. Here are two captures from Canberra - the first at the National Gallery and the second at The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/archicture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archicture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/builtenvironment?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#builtenvironment</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nga?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nga</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/iatsis?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iatsis</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/canberra?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#canberra</a>

Jacky Kapadia<p>🌟 How Multisensory Architecture is Redefining Spaces 🌿🎶✨</p><p>Have you ever walked into a building and felt an instant sense of calm, energy, or connection—without knowing why? It might be the power of multisensory design at work!</p><p>Interesting article, “Multisensory Architecture: Designing Beyond the Visual”, which challenges the traditional visual-centric approach to architecture. Instead, it emphasizes designing spaces that engage touch, sound, smell, and even taste to create deeply immersive human experiences.</p><p>This got me thinking:</p><p>🔹 How can architects and designers prioritize senses like sound or texture without compromising aesthetics?</p><p>🔹 What spaces have YOU encountered that left a lasting emotional (not just visual) impression?</p><p>🔹 Could multisensory design improve accessibility for people with visual impairments?</p><p>🔹 Would you incorporate scent or tactile materials into your projects? Why/why not?</p><p>Let’s spark a conversation! 💬</p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ArchitectureDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArchitectureDesign</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/SensoryDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SensoryDesign</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/InclusiveSpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InclusiveSpaces</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BuiltEnvironment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BuiltEnvironment</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DesignThinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DesignThinking</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/LinkedInDiscussion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinkedInDiscussion</span></a></p><p>👉 Read the full article here and share your thoughts: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/multisensory-architecture-designing-beyond-visual-jacky-kapadia-d6g7c" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">linkedin.com/pulse/multisensor</span><span class="invisible">y-architecture-designing-beyond-visual-jacky-kapadia-d6g7c</span></a></p>

Alx 🐈<p>the article 👆 also touches on another theme very dear to me since back in the days at the architecture school: empty second (or third) houses that remain unused (or rented for short stays) for the most part of the year.

This Is My Glasgow<p>When we lose an old building, we lose not just the architect's vision for its exterior, but all the other elements as well, like internal layouts, which can reveal so much about our social history. We lose all the little design features we all too often take for granted, but which make each building unique, like sculptures, and tilings and fonts and metalwork. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/urbanregeneration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>urbanregeneration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/oldbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oldbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/buildingpreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>buildingpreservation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/builtenvironment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>builtenvironment</span></a></p>

Sally Strange<p>"Eco-building and eco-living appear as essential steps in struggling climate change. Impacting both human and natural systems, architectural design plays a crucial role in this process. Scientific fields, such as sociology, economics, ecology and ideology, study ecovillages and intentional communities, but often forget the importance of their built environments. However, history of architecture can provide an original point of view. In this article, ecovillages are studied as whole entities acting on several levels of architectural design—from dwellings to territories, from spatial to social organization, from local to worldwide networks." </p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Climate</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/EcoVillages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EcoVillages</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Architecture</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GreenBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GreenBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SolarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunk</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ecology</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/BuiltEnvironment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BuiltEnvironment</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s44168-023-00065-2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/s44168-023</span><span class="invisible">-00065-2</span></a></p>
