The Sensory Notation Handbook is the result of an AHRC/EPSRC research project under the Designing for the 21st Century Scheme. The research was conducted at the University of Stratchlyde, and has since been used as a teaching tool at the Manchester School of Architecture in the course Graphic Anthropology, as well as further workshops at the University of Edinburgh, University of Aberdeen, University of St Andrews and other locations. Of use to both architects and anthropologists, the work is grounded in a simple tool for notating sensory experience, backed up by rigorous writing and drawing...
