In contrast to other spatial perceptions, why do architects prefer to design, map, and depict the visual? In addition to the visible, immaterial, and intangible aspects of space, architecture also addresses the minimal qualities that exist between the solid and the fluid as well as the ambiguous materiality of sound and smell. The human touch and multi-sensorial connection are what make the experience more intense.Today's building envelopes are made of tactile boundaries and visually perceptible borders that are an abstraction of the human body. This relies on vision, smell, and touch. For example, improving one's sense of smell may improve the perception of the surroundings. This is particularly intriguing because it emphasizes the significance of this sense and serves as a reminder of the possibility of sensory-sensitive information that is responsive and environment-adaptive.Individuals have different sensory perceptions of odours, just as different people have different needs for ambient and appropriate temperatures in a location. Although each person subjectively interprets these and responds differently, an individual instantaneously receives this information of change in the environment when any of the three aspects of scent, namely flow, intensity, or duration, are disturbed or augmented.Based on the methods used to acquire smell, data can be divided into four basic categories: observational, experimental, simulational, and generated. The intensity of a smell also fluctuates according to how far it is from its source, which will gradually wither away as time and distance pass. The study would help establish a parallel between smell and colour preferences. Researching if people’s preferences for colour and smell can be classified based on fixed parameters. McLean et al. (2018), pp 9-19Humans, however, can identify millions of distinct odours just by using their nose's smell receptors. So, it's an intriguing idea to incorporate smells into the process of designing a space. Although fragrances themselves cannot be represented visually and their ability to transport us to a different place and time cannot be demonstrated, they are nonetheless essential components of a setting that makes us feel at ease and at home.
