An architecture of seven senses

According to this article, I have my own experience about seven senses of the building which is more to see, touch and feel the atmosphere of every spaces I've been through. I do apply those elements that not only make me see beautiful, pleasant touch and excellent feel but everyone.
I always create a thing by consider for general thinking, uses, functions and flexibilities.
I have my own habit since I came into this field and it feels like a little bit strange and it's :

- Like to touch every textures or materials that I can see and feel interesting or never seen it before in my life, then I'll start to imagine that it would be awesome if I apply those textures at every suitable spaces.

- Like to examine with every interesting structures, circulations, scent of the spaces, the atmospheres very carefully, no matter I'm at restaurants, retail shops, night clubs outdoor buildings, then I might reuse it into my design idea development.

- Like to realize and understand with every structures that could influence me to my design thinking and slowly analyze it.

According to this article, there are some other authors did wrote some similarity with this article such as :
-Laura Hollengreen who talks about the "Jewish bodies, Christian senses, and Urban spaces" and she did mentioned some elements from this article.
-Nina Ergin who talks about the "Olfactory Aspects of Ottoman Mosque Architecture"
-Tijana Vujosevic, The haptic Sensorium of the Moscow Metro
-Sandy Isenstadt, Groping in the dark
-Jack Quinan, The Soundscapes of Frank Lloyd Wright's Larkin building
