Understanding the role of the non-visual senses is difficult, as there is at present no recording medium for the olfactory, gustatory, tactile or even aural environment which is useful to the practice of urban design. In any case, recording has a different aim from drawing and notation

Designing a notation for the senses

This paper looks at the issues surrounding the development and design of a system of notation, in this case the design of a notation for the senses. This activity raises several important issues about how we represent our perceptions and how we employ such perceptions in the design process. Notational and inscriptive practices are often regarded as wholly natural and neutral frameworks within which ideas may be expressed. This is far from being the case, and the form of a representation colours the mode of thought taken in developing the ideas to a greater or lesser degree. © 2009 Taylor &amp; Francis
