"Building design has become heavily dictated by the sense of sight, lacking multi-sensory qualities and approach. Of all the senses, smell has become the least exercised in the practice of architecture. This thesis ponders the mysterious sense of smell--which conjures long lost memories, creates thresholds to past times and places, affects behaviour and physiology, and makes up a significant component of how we experience space and place (whether we are conscious of it or not)--and seeks to awaken the sense through the design and specification of an office for architects. Exploring the inherent 'odorific' qualities of material and the challenge of representing the invisible, This Project Stinks attempts to extract the latent potential of architectural representation with the combined means of drawing and text to reintegrate smell into the design and experience of architecture."--Abstract.
