Reclaiming Beercraft- A Sensory Experience, Zishan Zeng Jan 2020

Reclaiming Beercraft- A Sensory Experience, Zishan Zeng

Theses and Dissertations

The senses are mainly a source of arousal, enjoyment and pain and are of vital importance for the human body. They are also important because sensory perception is typical of many cultural artifacts and is given unique intensities and extensions, shapes and meanings through them (Heywood, 2017). As Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa stated, “architecture is the art of reconciliation between ourselves and the world, and this mediation takes place through the senses” (Pallasmaa, 2012).

The Immersive Media Library @ Vcu, Michael Rosenthal-Mix Jan 2015

The Immersive Media Library @ Vcu, Michael Rosenthal-Mix

Theses and Dissertations

The design is new in that the emphasis is placed on the collaboration between librarians and visitors in creating new work.
