We can experience as many as 27 different senses, and to better experience a particular sense, it needs to be isolated. The arrangement of spaces reflects our hierarchy of reliance on each of the senses, sound, touches and sight. Each one provides an experience as you elevate through out the building. But the proportion of our reliance on the sense and the volume it occupies within the space is inversed. Progressing from open in taste to most condense in vision. Circulation of the building spirals around the central courtyard, which is the first and last impression, made upon the visitor to the building. A symphony of senses, light, environmental, temperature, void, sound and others each one having an individual solo within the building. The question that is presented as the task of is how the process alters our perception of the senses after the person experiences sensory isolation and then is released.
