Abstract

This research article draws attention to the sensory experience of architecture, whereby all different sensory aspects of the built environment work together to stimulate and communicate with the users’ senses. The resaerch disseminates a new term ‘SynaestheticScape’, which describes this experience. This term was introduced for the first time by the researcher in her PhD research. And it is also the title of the virtual landscape constructed as part of the Research by Design process. Architecture is understood in this article as the embodiment of human sensory interaction with an individual’s environment through time and a way of holding users’ stories of sensory interaction and perception. However, representations of architecture have tended to have been limited to expressing the visual interactions with the surrounding environment, ignoring the comprehensive effect of the sensory experience of users in understanding and perceiving their surroundings. The research article addresses this lacuna. The research aims to combine different concepts and methods that are not normally used in architecture to understand, describe and explore the process and potentialities of VR to produce ways of representing architecture that appeal to the senses and elicit memory and emotional engagement by developing a framework and a methodology outlining the foundation of a design process in creating sensory immersive spaces or ‘SynaestheticScape’ experiences which will eventually enhance the Iraqi pedagogy and design concept.
