Sensory architecture
During the Renaissance period, five  senses  were known  among them visual  sense was considered  at  a  higher  level  and  tactile  at  the lowest leve l in this ranking. The  sense originated from  the  universal  system so  that vision was  related to fire and light, auditory with air displacement,  olfactory  with water,  and tactile with  earth. Any tactile  experience includes multi-sensory in architecture. The quality of matter, scale, and space is perceived by ear, eye, nose, skin, tongue, skeleton, and face.
