Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone Project / The context of this topic covers the implementation of sensory and intelligible elements into the design process. These elements mainly pertain towards the human experience, and how design professionals can interpret these elements into functional concepts. The idea of incorporating sensory and intelligible principles is a relatively new premise in the realm of design, and as such there are many opportunities for the field to expand. Due to uncertainties pertaining to this field, such as the cost of production as well the subjective nature of the information, there are not many examples of design professionals utilizing these concepts to their full potential. The research methodology is primarily a qualitative analysis, examining precedents and examples of sensory elements as well as their functional applications in the professional world. Significant findings of this research combat the perceived subjectivity of this field, as there are proven benefits to incorporating these elements in the design process. These include creating more memorable spaces, improving mood of participants, and the ability to create safer spaces.
