Abstract
Much has been studied on the way humans perceive architecture. However, we have little experimental data on the way we perceive the constructed environment, through senses other than our vision. Architectural resonance is a reality, as buildings are constantly vibrating around us. How does the resonant human-building dynamic affect us? Due to ethical concerns, it is difficult to study the effect on humans. However, it is feasible to experiment on buildings themselves. In our innovation showcase, we will build 3 small rooms, one square, one hexagonal, and one circular. The vibration of the rooms will be studied, as different amounts and groups of humans pass through them. These readings will be used to make visual charts and heat maps, leading us towards a glimpse of the way buildings feel about their inhabitants.
