Awakening the Senses

Title Maybe?

Superimposing an Image Architecture: A Spatial Condition to Awaken the Senses and Establish One's Place Within Context

I want to create a spatial condition that awakens our senses (our memories) in order to engage us within our context (to make us care about where we live/ how we live). I do this by referencing my own memories and understanding of a place, to use a methodology that uses imagery (that is a reference to cinematography but is otherwise architecturally framing context) as a means of bringing emphasis and importance to the overall context (to things so striking to us that they awaken our senses).

what will this do? when these senses are awaken, when we are reminded of who we are, where we come from, .... these are the things that defines us.... maybe what we need is an architecture that will define us. (I'm not sure what that means... is there a moral standard for creating architecture? whose to say our standards wont conflict with others? how do we create architecture that is universal in dialogue.... that will speak to everyone of any background.)
