Abstract

This research paper delves into the intricate notion of ambiance, which can be characterized as the inherent personality and the encompassing atmosphere of a given space, stands as a pivotal element that exerts a profound influence on human experiences and behaviors. Despite its significance, the discourse surrounding the concept of ambiance remains relatively nascent within the context of Egypt, particularly when considering green areas. This discussion underscores the necessity to delve into this new idea, examining antecedent successful case studies (Park with All Senses) and (Toa Payoh Sensory Park) to understand their approach and application of ambiance. The primary objective of this study is to unpack the various dimensions of ambiance, tracing its historical background and evolution. The research uncovers a range of factors that contribute to shaping ambiance, highlighting its consequential role in human-environment interactions. The research investigation culminates in a comprehensive discussion of the multifaceted aspects of ambiance and its main features, as well as recommendations for the design of muti-sensory parks, advocating for the integration of this concept into future scholarly inquiries and practical applications, to enhance our understanding and creation of green areas that resonate with individuals on a deeper level.
