I am changing the direction of my thesis due to a weekend trip to Toronto, where I questioned how do we experience the city, architecture. Partly because I took the trip with a medical researcher working at a Cornell Laboratory, where I learned about the sensors of the body from a chemical biology point of view.
I am arguing that your eyes can fool you, what is the state of being? What is the purpose of architecture but to create shelter, and all experiences arrise from that.
I think what you started out with about perception and architecture was most intriguing. I'm not sure if you want to be leaning toward the objective temperature data, which would suggest a project about sustainability and energy consumption. Maybe asking questions about how temperature informs our perception of architecture could lead to some interesting findings. Also consider cultural and geographical factors that affect peoples' perceptions of and reactions to temperature.
