AbstractSynesthesia (greek, syn- together and aisthesis- perception) is a neurological condition of involuntary cross-modal association, where a stimulation causes a perception in one or more different senses. It denotes the rare capacity to hear colours, taste shapes, or see music. It is an additive experience, where two or more senses are combined into a more complex sensation without losing their own identities. Synesthetic architecture is about fusion, not only in the sense of joining materials together to enclose space, but as a method of joining ideas on all levels. My architectural proposal is an amplifier of sensations, in some levels taken to the extreme, where maximum reverses to minimum. The Synesthetic Mediator is a tool for inducing perceptual fusion, merging senses and combining concepts to release the energy of alternative perception. The structure will, by spatially causing a distortion of the senses, invoke the synesthetic multimodal state in order to deepen the direct experience into a meditative state of perception. The Synesthetic Mediator is a visitor centre in the back of your mind.
