Separate from the design process, architecture is also experienced through the senses, which therefore gives rise to aural, visual, and tactile architecture. As people move through a space, architecture is experienced as a time sequence.  Even though our culture considers architecture to be a visual experience, the other senses play a role in how we experience both natural and built environments. Attitudes towards the senses depend on culture.  The design process and the sensory experience of a space are distinctly separate views, each with its own language and assumptions.
