This work deals with the senses from the point of view of projects. Its main goal is to bring theoretical and methodological contributions to the research field of Emotional Design for the development of projects directed towards the other senses beyond vision. First, it investigates experience design in physical spaces, a current and crucial question studied by the recent research field of architecture of atmospheres, which in turn has as one of its main strategies to consider all the human senses in its designs. Then, this work brings some thoughts on the importance of the designer to expand his attention beyond the visual aspects of his products, pointing at some of the reasons why vision is held as the hegemonic sense before the others. It broaches on and illustrates the role each one of our senses plays on the perception of the constructed environment, based on the teachings of psychologist James Gibson (1966). It also describes three important constructions which were designed with the intention of promoting experiences for their visitors that have used strategies focused on all the senses: Thermal Baths, Blur Building and the Jewish Museum Berlin. Last, this research confirms the importance of the senses in the expansion of the emotional responses of the user towards the designed environment.
