Abstract
MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : Spirituality, meaning to return to the human soul and mind, is a relevant topic to consider for designing spaces. This change in behavior shifts the demand for an architectural space. In order to be spiritually active the body needs to work together with the senses. That is why it is important to understand how the senses work together and how that can be implicated into an interior space. The goal of the thesis is to answer how spirituality influences designing with the senses. For this purpose the following research question will be asked: How does spirituality influence the atmospheric and sensory experience of an interior space? To answer the research question information sources were analysed and combined. In order to explain the gathered information, case studies were used to give insight into the implementation of the gathered information. The analysis of the given information material shows that the senses all need to work together in order to create a spatial atmosphere. Additionally, transition spaces are an important part - spiritually but also organizationally - to create a multi-sensory experience
