design+art+science<\/strong> – conference on the importance of visual arts in urban space, presenting reflections on the intersection of architectural design in integration with fine arts and the role of this synergy for shaping contemporary public spaces and architectural interiors. The new edition of the conference will focus on the contexts of meaning and narrative in design, fine and visual arts, as well as the workshop of the architect and artist. Special attention will be paid to the individualized sensory perception of a design work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both architecture and art, instead of prompting the viewer to only visually perceive the work, are increasingly engaging other senses such as touch, hearing, smell and taste to create a comprehensive and sensory experience. Nowadays, the importance of holistic, multi-sensory perception of space playing an important role is emphasized as it affects our experience and interaction with the environment. The understanding of the environment is based on sensory impressions, which are then processed by the cognitive system, which is influenced by genetically determined individual characteristics and the different life experiences of each person. Questions arise – how to create works of art and architecture to make them understandable and acceptable to the audience? how to diversify solutions so that each viewer can feel the comfort of perception of the work or the environment? what means of expression to use to reach the widest possible audience, to provide a sense of security, stability?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sight is the dominant sense in the perception of art and architecture. Image, color, composition, form, as well as proportion and scale are key elements that shape our perception. But for some the color is green, for others it is blue – do we have the right to claim that this person is wrong? How does interacting with color, valence, scale affect our sense of security?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tactile perception is important when interacting directly with an object. We can feel the texture of materials, the texture of walls, the coolness of floors, the hardness of stone. Impressions can be positive or negative. They are especially important for people who do not use sight. In the design process of a work of art and architecture, do we give these people a chance to receive impressions appropriately?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hearing allows us to experience the acoustics of the interior, the sounds in the space \u2014 another particularly important aspect for audiences with vision problems. A gravel path, the rustle of tree leaves, the splash of water in a fountain – multi-sensory landmarks that we often forget about in the design process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smell and taste are less obvious in the perception process of architecture, although they can play a leading role in the reception of art. In the case of architecture, materials, vegetation or other elements that emit a strong scent can evoke certain associations, sometimes unpleasant, but also important in the context of commercial spaces, cafes, restaurants or food-related facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the face of the issues described, questions arise that we will seek answers to during the panel sessions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
