Sensory Trails . Normafa . Budapest

Abstract

The project focuses on the development of new approaches to the natural and cultural landscape of Normafa, a protected forest located in the XIIth District of Budapest which functions also as a public park for the residents of Hungary’s capital. The concept proposes a series of sensory trails and site-specific interventions that create new dialogues to perceive the landscape through senses and perceptions. This solution can be considered as an instrument that utilizes senses as a method of approximation to the site by increasing the perceptions to the landscape through the connection of nature with multisensory experiences: scents, textures, sounds, tastes and scenes.
