Multisensory Landscape Design provides an introduction to multisensory design in landscape architecture, architecture, urban and environmental design. Spatial design tends to focus on solely the visual, often treating it as the dominant sense while ignoring the other four senses: touch, sound, smell, taste. This book imagines a world where seeing is redefined in a way that encompasses all of the senses—not just the visual.

This is a textbook for design students, professionals, and educators to develop multisensorial literacy, providing introductions on each of the five senses, along with exercises that demonstrate how to observe, record, and visualize them. It explores current design school pedagogy, and how we might imagine a more mindful way of teaching. The new edition is updated to address new knowledge in multisensorial research, particularly with regards to neurodivergence, new activities around mindfulness and situating ourselves in space, and the rise of AI visualization tools in design. The book is a foundational resource for students, professionals, and instructors to understand and ultimately create multisensorial spaces that are inclusive for all.

Daniel Roehr is a Professor and Chair of Landscape Architecture at the University of British Columbia School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture in Vancouver, Canada. He is a registered landscape architect in British Columbia and Berlin and has practiced extensively in Europe, Asia, and North America. He is the director of greenskinlab at UBC. For more than three decades, his research has focused on living roofs, and low-impact development (LID) as part of holistic stormwater management. In recent years Daniel's research has developed open access tools for climate resilience, natural disaster, and education for designers. He authored the books Multisensory Landscape Design: A Designer's Guide for Seeing (Routledge, 2022) and co-authored Living Roofs in Integrated Water Systems (Routledge, 2015).
