This dissertation focused on the exploration of potential designs that could stimulate the senses to reduce stress and aid healing. HEALING THROUGH ARCHITECTURE Architecture is judged not only with its visual beauty but also enjoyed as a synaesthetic journey by our Common Senses. The Common Senses, as defined by Aristotle of the unity of senses, is the key to join architectural space and our bodies, increasing the level of intimacy between the two to develop an all-embracing relationship. Despite fully attention of most current architects to the sense of eyesight, architecture stimulates all of our senses. This paper discusses the perception of senses in architecture, explaining how they work and influence on each other and the differences between them.

This thesis will reveal how the senses can communicate our world around us through a comprehensive understanding. Through the assistance of Juhani Pallasmaa’s outlook on architecture, art, and the senses, this study hopes to connect how multi-sensory experiences could .

The suppression of the other senses due to the domination of the sense of sight has resulted in the isolation, detachment and alienation of the individual (Pallasmaa, ).
