Food - Multisensory Experiences
How each of our senses plays a critical role in perceiving eating experiences
COMING SOON
Did the fear of losing your senses due to Covid-19 increase your hyper-awareness of taste and smell? Sensory perception is such a complex, intertwined process that we subconsciously live day in and day out. In this engaging and interactive online course, food architect and experience designer Jashan Sippy will help you understand the role that each of our body senses plays in the multisensory perception of food - sound, touch, taste, smell and vision. You will examine practical examples of how this multisensory approach is applied to building unforgettable global experiences - from events to restaurant concepts, as well as from designing food itself to products for food. He will also share examples of collaborative, commissioned, and self-initiated multisensory projects undertaken by his Mumbai-based creative agency, Sugar and Space.
