The five senses from the hierarchy from the highest sense of vision down to earth. Architecture is deeply engaged with senses. Eyes are the most delicate part of our body and the loss of eye sight is a ultimate physical loss. The eyes are more accurate than the ears, it can be regarded as humanity’s greatest gift. According to western culture, sight is noblest of all the senses. It has been regarded as an art form of the eye. There is very strong tendency in vision to hold and attach to someone. As contemporary architecture is becoming more popular, senses are being neglecting and imbalance in sensory system is occurring.
