We are blessed with five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing. Recently, I tossed around the question on which is our most dominant sense. Research has shown that our eyes are our most important organ of sense.

Up to 80% of our perceptions and impressions of the built environment around us are derived through our sight. Our sense of vision shapes how we see our world, from the physical space of our home to the buildings we walk through.
