Synopsis

Architects and designers Anna Barbara and Anthony Perliss dig deep into the unexplored, yet profound, relation between place and smell. How does the odour of a space, of a building, influence our perception of it? Moreover, how does said olfactory experience alter our very behaviour and understating of place?
Tracing back the history of smell and architecture throughout cultures and centuries, Invisible Architecture is a groundbreaking exploration of the most invisible and overlooked of our senses, and its seemingly infinite applications in the world of design and architecture.
