This article investigates architectural perception beyond visual aspects, questioning how the other senses actively participate in the spatial experience. Based on the contributions of Rasmussen (1998) on the experience of architectural space and Pallasmaa (2011) on the relationship between body and architecture, articulated with Merleau-Ponty's (1999) phenomenology of perception, the article analyzes how the body's senses are integrated into the perceptual process of the architectural work. The study demonstrates how textures, sounds and temperatures constitute essential dimensions of architectural apprehension, often neglected. It is concluded that the architectural project must consider the sensorial complexity involved in the perception and experience of architecture.
