What would happen to design if everyone was blind? Architects and Designers have become increasingly oculocentric. Where the way a design looks can become the dominant component.  Yet new studies into Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuro Architecture are providing data-driven information regarding the critical importance of engaging all the senses.  Wouldn’t you like your projects to produce stronger reactions, generate deeper memories and create richer experiences? See how integrating all the senses improves the lives of those with cognitive conditions. How multisensory design can make wayfinding safer and easier. How it can help students and employees learn better.  And even how it can reduce anxiety and lower stress. Sight is just one of the senses.  Join us to “see” what you can achieve when you design for Multi Senses!
