Exhibition: Multisensory experience park

Render by Charrelle Stassens

The Faculty of Architecture and Arts of Hasselt University asked 21 students to design a “Multisensory Experience Park”. In the studio CARE they focused on the question: How can architecture contribute to multisensory experiences for all? The program focused on an architectural design of care and recreation more precisely a theme park where everyone can go to and experience unexpected environments. Lying in bed, riding a horse, hopping without sight or pregnant with a buggy…all visitors are welcome and the experience park wants to support the dreams and wishes of people as if they feel like a king or a queen that day.

During the week of Universal Design there will be an exhibition held of a selection of the outcome of this design exercise in Sint-Gerardus, Diepenbeek. Do you want to explore a tower with waterwalls or a building made like a modular machine in which everything moves, please come and visit the exhibition during weekdays from October 10^th until October 26^th 2016.

The exhibition will be closed on Wednesday October 26^th with lectures of designers themselves on the impact of multisensory experiences in the built environment.

Everybody who wants to be inspired by the opportunities of Universal Designing as a design strategy to create a multisensory environment is very welcome at this evening lecture and exhibition.
