Museum of emotions

This research investigates how architects can deepen their understanding of spatial perception and experiential spaces through the design of an “Emotion Museum” that engages all five human senses. Conducted within the framework of a competition that banned text, the project embraced phenomenology and drew inspiration from thinkers like Juhani Pallasmaa, emphasizing light and materiality in architecture as primary means of nonverbal communication. The design approach was deliberately conceptual and sensory, challenging the architect to convey meaning purely through form and space. Ultimately, this work underscores the importance of emotional design in museum design, cultivating the architect’s responsibility to shape spaces that consciously influence human emotions and perception.
