Looking within and beyond our current situation it is clear that new sensibilities of spatial experiences are emerging that can no longer be defined by our physical presence alone. Working with screen-deep spatial encounters, virtual ‘visits’ or ‘excursions’, challenged by a depleted range of sensorial information, our situation demands new methods of representation and interpretation. This study explores how can we define and adapt our understanding of architectural sensory information. It provokes questions into our relationships with the atmosphere of architectural space and the data that might help define it. Findings propose how, as designers, we might provide increased opportunities through virtual excursions, to glimpse into a tangible embodied understanding of architectural spaces.
