Multisensory Design in Education: How Architecture Enhances the Learning Experience

The aim of the article is to explore the existing scientific literature on sensory architectural training in education, establishing an approach to enhance the learning experience and recommending the effective implementation of multisensory architecture in educational settings.Methodology: The study used a comprehensive narrative review that consulted databases such as Scopus, Scielo, and Scispace. Specific terms related to architecture and education were used, applying Boolean operators to refine the search. The search period covered from March to April 2024, focusing on articles published between 2020 and 2024. A total of 86 articles were selected, from which 26 relevant articles were selected for the review, after eliminating duplicate articles and those that did not meet the established inclusion criteria.Results: The results of the review revealed that multisensory architecture in education is essential to positively influence users' emotions and behaviors. It was concluded that educational spaces should be transformed into dynamic environments that stimulate creativity, concentration and learning through sensory stimuli. In addition, it was emphasized that architectural design plays a crucial role in the educational experience, encompassing not only sight but also other senses.Conclusions: The main conclusions indicate that multisensory architecture transcends the creation of simple structures, transforming spaces into landscapes that encourage exploration, experimentation and learning. It emphasizes the need to empower students through experiences that engage all their senses, thus redefining the educational landscape. Furthermore, it is suggested that the educational experience should be a constant flow of stimuli that awaken curiosity and nurture learning.
