Mapping through all the Senses

Mapping the Senses

I discovered this podcast/radio show about mapping through the various senses. It wasn't as relevant to my project as I had expected (and wanted) but some of the ideas within the show have given me some inspiration.
The idea of breaking down a certain area (in my case, my site) into all the small simplistic elements such as cracks in the paving, overhead wires and then perhaps expanding and mixing it up with less visual elements such as mapping the sounds of cars, sound of birds, smell of food etc. These can relatively easily be plotted visually onto individual maps but I would like to try and create something a little more tactile. A 3D model with removable elements of smells, tastes, sounds that can be used to show anyone sighted or unsighted the possible journeys to my site and through my building. This would be a good idea for my final presentation but first I need to resolve the organisation of spaces.
