Towards evaluative framework of multi-sensory landscape elements

Abstract EN

Open spaces are not simply placing that people want to access; instead they are where many of
the activities that fill people's lives occur.

To experience these occupations, sensory stimuli
must be emitted as a result of the use and interaction with the landscape elements in the
surrounding environment.

The engagement of more senses in the perceptual process of the user
allows diverse experiences in the space, allowing variation of the users.

However, most of the
time, greater attention is given to the buildings and their design, ignoring outdoor spaces and
their importance.

Most open spaces are visually oriented, and this usually prevails over
information obtained by the other senses.

The main aim of this paper is to determine the
importance of each landscape element in the multi-sensory design.

This is achieved by a set of
objectives, which study the user's perception of the open spaces, determine landscape elements
and finally, indicate the sensory stimuli of each element and the human senses influenced by
these stimuli.
