Arigami is an interdisciplinary global research team that fuses design, neuroscience, and experimentation. Led by Harvard-trained neuroscientist and award-winning sensory designer, Ari Peralta; Arigami leverages sensory science and principles of nature to help brands and organizations design healthier environments. Ari's professional journey has been a remarkable trajectory from academia to industry. Along the way, he has undertaken notable projects and collaborations that have not only defined his career but also redefined sensory design. His unique approach has left an indelible mark on the field and continues to inspire others.
Noise Pollution & the Psychoacoustic Potential of Conscious Sound Design | Nature Effect Series
In this particular installment, we’ll delve into the strategic potential of using nature as a reference and tool to successfully mitigate noise pollution in built environments. By the time you’re finished reading, you should have a strong foundation from which to draw inspiration, for building interiors that handle and redirect noise from a more humane perspective, to the benefit of all stakeholders. We’ll accomplish this by analyzing case studies of well-executed art experiences and installations from Joseph Dean, Robert Thomas, Lachlan Turczan and Joshua Sam Miller. Each of them provide a glimpse of what’s next in conscious sound design.
Spatial Therapy | Research & Design Insights | Wellness Real Estate
Interior designers, no longer confined to spa or workplace interiors, are turning to art, science and technology to develop exciting new spatial therapies for wellness real estate. The interior design industry serves as the creative backbone of wellness communities, providing much more than an aesthetic or point of differentiation. Join sensory designer and neuroscientist, Ari Peralta as he shares design insights, backed by evidence, that add depth and meaning to interiors, enabling a new generation of transformative spaces that reflect today’s evolving wellness values.
Embodied Cognition in Sensory Design & Wellness
Research studies suggest our perception is embodied (multisensory and relational). The way we think, feel, and behave is intricately linked to how we perceive and interact with the world around us. In essence, our brain is designed to elicit specific responses or emotions by leveraging our various sensory inputs. At Arigami, we unfold these sensory principles to enhance projects and empower designers.
Key principles of embodied cognition include the notion that cognition is situated in the body, that it is inherently linked to action and perception, and that it is shaped by cultural and environmental factors. These principles collectively emphasize the holistic nature of cognition and the intricate interplay between the mind, body, and surrounding environment.
Exploring the Influence of Temperature on Human Senses for Interior Design | Beyond 5 Series
New research suggests that thermosensory pathways interact with brain systems that control affective function (motivational, behavioral, and subjective aspects of emotions). Our sense of temperature can also affect our other senses, in particular, the sense of taste and smell.
