Q. 請和我們分享您對於感知與設計之間的關係見解，以及 Norm Architects 如何創造出豐富的感官體驗？

Q. Could you share your views on the relationship between sensory perception and design, and how Norm Architects creates rich sensory experiences?

A.人們能感受在具體地點、時間與特定事物存在著，五感（眼、耳、鼻、舌、身）解構成千上萬的刺激，形成對所處環境的認知反應，在體驗整體氛圍後縮小感知範圍，利用感官洞察探索形狀、表面、密度、光線、聲音等細節 ; 對世界的整體理解，來自這些植入於身、心所產生的共鳴，這些體驗被嵌入我們的記憶中，形成了獨特的舒適感、安全感和對家的感受。

A. Human beings experience the world through specific places, times, and objects, with our five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—breaking down countless stimuli to form our perception and reactions to our environment. After taking in the overall atmosphere, our perception narrows its focus, allowing the senses to explore details such as shape, texture, density, light, and sound. Our holistic understanding of the world is derived from these sensory inputs resonating within our body and mind, embedding these experiences into our memory. These encounters shape our unique senses of comfort, safety, and the feeling of home.

感官與生活體驗有著千絲萬縷的關係，牽動著當下與特定事物的連結。因此，以人為本的建築和設計方法能夠全面調和人與世界的關係，真實撼動所有感官從而提高生活質量。團隊在過程反問自己：「這個空間或物體應該為人們帶來什麼感覺？」答案指引了相關設計元素的選擇與安排，架構起物質與內在溝通的橋樑，不僅透過二維繪圖或模型來揣摩未來變化，過程需要將自己的感官記憶與融入，藉由想像某些聲音、紋理、音量和氣味帶來的同理感受，構成人與人之間交流的語言，邀請人體感受它。

The relationship between our senses and our life experiences is deeply interconnected, influencing our connection to specific moments and things. Therefore, a human-centric approach to architecture and design is essential in harmonizing our relationship with the world, genuinely engaging all the senses to enhance the quality of life. As a team, we constantly ask ourselves, "How should this space or object make someone feel?" This question guides the selection and arrangement of design elements, building a bridge between the physical and the emotional. It is not just about predicting future changes through two-dimensional drawings or models; it requires us to draw on our sensory memories and integrate them with empathy, imagining how certain sounds, textures, volumes, and scents will resonate with the human body. In this way, architecture and design become a language of human connection, inviting the body to engage fully with the space.
