Design is about interpreting and extending the world of the senses. It is about experimenting with materials and embracing the different needs and user experience. 
A multi-sensory design approach explores the many ways that we can strate­gically utilise materials, in order to awaken the senses. This thesis project aims to raise awareness of multi-sensory design and how to apply it. 
"Design is more than just visual beauty"
Touch is a show-book series that consists of 3 books. Book 1 presents the research that has been done in multi-sensory design and in tactile design. Book 2 explores the many ways in which materials stimulate our sensors and book 3 examines tactile design as part of social change.
Tactile design is about touch, and touch has a more important purpose. Touching unites our sensors and helps deliver a full experience. What might seem as an insignificant tactile detail, can guide us through an unfamiliar space or even awaken our curiosity.
