OUR HAPRIC SENSES ARE OFTENTIMES FORGOTTEN WHEN DESIGNING ARCHITECTURE. WHEN WE DESIGN,
MOST OF THE EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON APPEARANCES AND FORM, NOT THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT'S INHERENT
HAPTIC QUALITIES. BASED ON VIDEO EVIDENCE, I IDENTIFIED SEVERAL FACTORS WHICH INFLUENCE
HOW PEOPLE TOUCH AND INTERACT WITH ARCHITECTURE. THESE FACTORS INCLUDE POSITION, MATERIAL,
AND VIEWS. BASED ON THESE OBSERVATIONS I GENERATED 3D SURFACES GENERATED ENTIRELY BY TOUCH.
USING THESE TOUGH-GENERATED SURFACES, I GENERATED A CONTINUOUS SURFACE DESIGNED ENTIRELY
FOR THE HAPTIC SENSES. I THEN APPLIED THIS METHOD OF DESIGNING ONTO A SPA TYPOLOGY, CREATING
A SERIES OF HAPTIC SURFACES WHICH FLOWED SEAMLESSLY FROM HEATING SAUNAS INTO COOLING POOLS.
