This book blends theory, practice, and international standards to introduce a new paradigm that extends Universal Design to fully embrace the wide spectrum of human sensory experiences and preferences. It provides a comprehensive roadmap for creating environments that are not only accessible but also emotionally and psychologically restorative, life-enhancing, and attuned to the breadth of human sensory perception.
Showcasing practical strategies for architects, planners, designers, policymakers, organizational leaders, and educators, each chapter offers rich visual case studies and actionable tools, making this volume both a scholarly resource and a practical guide. Sensible designers are encouraged to shape spaces that cultivate emotional resonance and well-being-amid the rise of climate change, intelligent systems, and the profound transformations reshaping society. An essential resource for professionals and students in design, architecture, planning, disability studies, and public policy,
Sensible Design
speaks to anyone committed to shaping sensory-responsive environments and advancing a future where belonging and human connection are at the center of the built world.
