Urban Sense Lab

At the Urban Sense Lab we believe that a creative and innovative economy can be built if we understand the urban conditions that attract and foster creativity. With our focus being on the urban environment, we are interested in the sensory interactions people have as they navigate their lives through and within cityscapes via sight, sound, touch, and other sensory modes. Connecting the sensorial back to the architectural, the Urban Sense Lab plans and designs urban spaces to mediate between these two contiguous affairs. We use research-driven processes to drive the betterment of urban experiences and construct developmental models for the society, the economy, and the environment—both at local and global contexts. Meanwhile, we are also working towards building a community of learning for those who realize the importance of urban design and development.
