Multisensory Design in Educational Environments: The Influence of Architecture in Enhancing the Learning Experience.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objective: To explore the existing scientific literature on sensory architectural training in education, in order to establish an approach that enhances the learning experience and recommend the effective implementation of multisensory architecture in educational environments.Methodology: Exhaustive narrative review of scientific literature, consulting databases such as Scopus, Scielo and Scispace, with a search conducted between March and April 2024. Terms related to architecture, design, multisensoriality and education were used, filtering an initial total of 86 articles to obtain a final corpus of 26 articles relevant to the review.Results: Traditional architectural design has mostly privileged visual perception, relegating other senses such as touch, hearing and smell, although multisensory architecture seeks to stimulate all senses to generate full and enriching emotional experiences, in addition, it is highlighted that multisensory architecture in educational settings should go beyond simple structures, transforming spaces into dynamic landscapes that invite exploration and learning, promoting creativity and concentration,.Conclusions: The integration of multisensory stimuli in educational architecture is fundamental to empower students and redefine the educational landscape, captivating all senses and stimulating more active and enriching learning.
