Scentuary Temple Part 1 Project 2025 Hyobin Lee Nottingham Trent University | UK The Temple Stay project proposes a healing architectural framework that offers sanctuary for modern individuals to rest, reflect, and reconnect with nature. Rooted in the integration of six key elements including olfactory sense, space, nature, humanity, modernity, and history. Emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between nature and humans, the design uses olfactory experiences as a medium to foster emotional healing through space. "Olfaction, limited in verbal expression, functions in a primal and instinctive manner. It is triggering unconscious and emotional responses that enable deep sensory experience." -A. Jasper & N. Wagner. Situated within Newark Castle, the project incorporates the site’s historical features into a contemporary monastic programme. It provides spaces for meditation, contemplation, balneal experiences, and brief escapes from daily life, aiming to establish itself as more than just a place of experience, but also as a platform for healing and reflection in modern society. The spatial strategy is built around three key interrelationships: enhancing sensory experience through scent and space (initiated at the Sacred Gatehouse), promoting harmony between landscape and movement, and creating a dialogue between past and present through modern functions embedded in the historic context. The result is an architecture that blends history, materiality, and the senses to offer a culturally rooted yet emotionally resonant space for human well-being. Tutor(s) Ben Harris-Hutton
