Sensory Effects of Architecture

Our final presentation was tracking our feelings and emotions as we walked from Bocconi University to Torre Velasca. Overall starting at Bocconi, the area was young filled with students on campus, and people running, it was extremely inviting to be a part of. As we walked to Torre Velasca, the emotion shifted completely. Torre Velasca is considered a symbol of modern design of Milan’s architecture but it influenced by the buildings around it. It is also styled to be similar to a medieval clock tower. The building received mix feelings from the people of Milan. While we were walking in the area and around the Torre, the area was vacant with little movement even during a rush hour time period. We also noticed that they are reconstructing the building and have a mini exhibit on the architects who are going to renew the appearance. There are efforts in place to make this important building inviting once again. The walk shifts quickly from happy to uneasy, and we made a color coding system that expresses the emotion/feeling with a specific color as we walked.
