On Scent

'What is that *smell*?' 'Me. I'm experimenting with architectural smellscapes.' 'Architectural whatscapes?' 'Smellscapes. I'm using scent to create metaphors for built work on the ephemeral canvas of our indoor air quality. It's really the only unexplored frontier for architectural expression.' 'You think odour can be archtitecure?' 'It's the ultimate personal enclosure. An analogue can be found for every type of construction: floral topnotes for soaring cantilevers, resonant basslines for stereototomic pediments. The possibilities are endless.' 'But you smell ike feet! 'Sure. Vinyl siding. You'll never guess what I'm going to wear tomorrow.' 'Asshole.' 'Lucky guess, but I call it False Dormers.'
