Abstract	The article explores the role of atmosphere, synesthesia, and multisensory experience in modern architecture. The authors analyze the process of perception of space through the prism of art and philosophy. Special attention is paid to the concepts of V. Kandinsky and G. Boehme, who consider the atmosphere as a result of the interaction of objective properties of the environment and subjective experience. Examples of the architecture of temples, pavilions, and modern facilities show how light, sound, materials, and other elements shape a subject's emotional response. The article highlights the importance of a multisensory approach, including for creating an inclusive architecture that takes into account the needs of people with disabilities.
