Sense of place

environment around us and found some interesting aspect that stood out to me. Observing while spending time socialize is anything from easy as I felt the pull of my companions need to distract me at every turn but I pushed forward and tried to use all my sense in order to enjoy every aspect of all these activities to relish the benefit of the world around me. It’s quite interesting the things one observes…

some privacy which usually helps the flow of conversations. However, there is also a lack of privacy that takes place. This is because all events in the court room are documented, word-for-word, and put into the records where others can look them up. The place also takes away privacy in the sense that any citizen can attend any court case and listen in. Therefore, there is a perceived sense that there is some privacy in the courtroom, however, that privacy can be very limited as those rights may…

I needed to observe. Usually these observations are things I don’t pay attention to, but I do them anyway. As human beings, we observe with our senses. Our senses include sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. These senses aren’t always on our mind when we go to different places, unless of course one of them stands out. When paying attention to these senses at the U.S Cellular store, there were a few that caught my attention. Friday after school was over my boyfriend and I decided to go to…

Senses are a vital necessity in human life. Senses consist of sight, sounds, smell, tastes, and texture. A main function of the senses is to maintain homeostasis. There are two senses; general and special. “General senses are those with receptors widely distributed throughout the body, including skin, various organs and joints” ( ,Pg. 444). “Special senses have more specialized receptors and are confined to structure in the head, such as eyes and ears”( ,Pg.444). Over time, scientists…

live without one of the five senses that others often take for granted. These five senses would include: the sense of touch, hearing, taste, eyesight, and smell. Occasionally, people lose certain senses as they begin to grow older, or have possibly endured a traumatic experience at some period within their life. Many elderly people live without the sense of sight or hearing. Those who have experienced severe burns or frostbite, or nerve damage, can possibly lose their sense of touch. Other…

The built environment is enriched with human physical interactions and activity, it can be interpreted that the concept of architecture is influenced by our five corporeal senses. The essence of architecture should be a memorable experience for the people. It should be recognised through its qualities based on our senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch where they can interact and engage with the space. By studying the human behaviour and the essence in phenomenology we could change the…

one’s life in place. Memory assists in everyday life by providing essential information. Without memory, one would have a very difficult time understanding and interacting in the world. Memories are the basis of many tasks, as they allow individuals to repeat a certain motion, or remember how to do something. Emotions affect how one sees the world, as they can sometimes cause someone to only see one aspect of a situation, causing perception to differ between individuals. The senses contribute…

To accurately process information about one 's surroundings, humans use five senses to interpret them. In 2011, Gehl wrote about how the five senses work in both physical and social situations. He mostly described the perception and optimal distances for each sense. But how does this relate to parks? Every park has a designer or many. These designers had to plan out every element from obvious aspects like bridges and playgrounds to seemingly arbitrary details like how tall a ledge should be or…

293). In this sense imagination is vital for creating meaning for oneself and of that of what is “out there.” However, I do disagree with the standpoint of “Each (Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats who) confined not only that the imagination was (the) most precious possession but it was somehow concerned with a supernatural order” and instead I think that it is the order of the individual him and herself and their experiences, which is to say that meaning does not come from mystical place but…
