Unveiling the World of Sensory Design and Wellness: A Journey through Research and Thought Leadership
We find ourselves at the intersection of neuroscience and sensory design, where the cognitive effects of well-designed environments come to the forefront. Neuroscience provides invaluable insights into how our brains respond to sensory stimuli, offering a deeper understanding of human behavior and emotional responses in designed spaces.
Within this section, we present a collection of thought-provoking articles penned by experts in sensory design. These articles offer insightful perspectives on the implications of sensory design for various sectors, ranging from healthcare and education to hospitality and beyond. The diverse viewpoints presented in these articles serve as a testament to the far-reaching influence of sensory design in shaping human experiences.
Hidden Senses
Unveiling the hidden senses. In our daily lives, we often rely on our five main senses—sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch—to perceive and interact with the world around us. However, there are additional, lesser-known senses that play a significant role in shaping our sensory experiences and overall well-being. In this series, we will embark on a journey to explore these hidden senses and unravel their profound influence on our perception and wellness.
Nature Effect
We invite you to delve into the strategic potential of using nature as a reference and tool to successfully mitigate noise pollution, lighting contamination and other sensory fields in the built environment. By the time you’re finished reading, you should have a strong foundation from which to draw inspiration, for building spaces 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 experiences, places, and art installations that have studied the science of psychoacoustics, and applied their learnings towards constructions that turn noise away from danger – and towards delight.
Stimulate Retail
As retail interfaces and systems continue to evolve, the way we design retail experiences to user needs and behaviors is also transforming. In the new series “Stimulate Retail,” join award-winning sensory designer and Harvard neuroscientist Ari Peralta as he breaks down the science and tech behind some of today’s most stimulating sensory retail experiences. From 3D billboards to spatial scent to ChatGPT, meet the brands leading the next wave of multisensory retail innovations, and learn best practices to help strengthen your brand’s sensory presence in this new, multi-dimensional experience market.
Hotel Designs Lab
Discover the science & tech behind today’s sensory hotel experiences. Arigami partnered with Hotel Designs to produce a series of thought-leadership articles ‘Hotel Designs LAB’ developed to challenge the conventional hospitality landscape and, in the process, empower interior designers, architects, hoteliers, developers, technologists and hospitality brands.
Sensing Space
How can we experience the universe that is beyond reach for human perception? Learning when and how to trust our senses helps humans thrive, from under water to outer space. On this series, we partner with some of the leading experts in this field to increase support for space exploration by bringing space to Earth. Discover ways we are making space exploration a reality by stimulating the senses through physical, virtual, and augmented immersion and creating experiences of space here on Earth.
