Integration of the Senses within Pool Environments
Having explored the literature and conducted research into water, architectural design and the senses, it can be concluded that pool environments are sensory experiences that improve and relax both the body and the mind. As the research has shown, the combination of the sense of sight and touch are key in order to create a memorable experience with lasting effects. Figure 41 shows how the relationship between different pool environments could interact and fuse together each of the senses which would create the sensation of ultimate rejuvenation and relaxation. The journey of moving through the varying temperature and experiences, for instance, the ice pool to the fire pool, makes the body want to explore further into a world of reflective thinking and creativity. Each pool enhances the senses. Fire Pool - Touch Outdoor Pool - Sight Scented Pool - Smell Indoor Pool - Sound Ice Pool - Touch
