Discover Liliana Becerra's New Book, Soft Design Aesthetic Experience Featuring SR&DL's Synesthesia Project

Liliana Becerra’s latest book, Soft Design Aesthetic Experience at the Intersection of Materials, Technology & Interaction, offers a fresh perspective on design that blends emotion, sensory engagement, and technology. As an architect or designer, you’ll find this book a valuable resource for understanding how to create experiences that go beyond the visual and functional, tapping into deeper emotional and sensory layers. Notably, our project, Synesthesia, is mentioned in a book that explores this emerging design language, highlighting its role in shaping multisensory environments.

It can be ordered from Routledge in paperback, hardcover, and as an eBook.

How Synesthesia Fits Into This New Design Language

Our Synesthesia project is mentioned in a book as an example of Soft Design in action. Synesthesia explores the blending of sensory inputs—such as sound, touch, and light—to create a unified, multisensorial experience. This aligns perfectly with the book’s theme of multidimensional design.

The project demonstrates practical ways to:

• Use materials that respond to touch or movement

• Integrate technology that adapts to user interaction

• Design environments that stimulate multiple senses simultaneously

  
  

For designers, Synesthesia offers a blueprint for creating spaces that feel intuitive and emotionally rich.
