SENSE-SENSITIVE DESIGN
‘5 Sense Tour’. Proven to be truly impactful in school settings, in essence sensory audits apply rigour to ensuring that optimal environments are achieved within individual rooms and spaces, and need to be undertaken regularly to achieve results. Essentially the five cardinal senses and more are audited, to ensure that optimal learning environments are achieved over the seven ages of childhood and their respective sensory maturation. Such audits have already been undertaken successfully in Oxfordshire primary schools across Key Stage 1-4 and indeed 5. In these audits, it was clearly evident that some pupils were ‘super-sensitive’, and were thus able to hear, see, and smell things that other pupils, siblings, or teachers, were unaware of. The factors impacted on their learning, and were subsequently addressed to good effect.
‘Do you see what I see?’ Visual neuroscientist, Jenny Boston, states that ‘it all depends on age, individual eye structure, to how our brain processes images, to what language we speak’. Clearly damage and disease such as retinopathy, astigmatism, myopia, muscular degeneration, and impaired vision, will critically impact the learning process. According to research, vision is the key sense for successful learning, and – the Vision Council says – 80% of the brain’s
input and data are relayed through the optic nerve. It is estimated that over 60% of

problem learners have undiagnosed vision problems. The majority of these vision problems that interfere with reading and learning are very treatable – reference ‘seeing clearly; seeing clearly 20/20’. Interestingly, in terms of colour, we can identify specific hues by measuring what happens to the brain structure, as distinct patterns are revealed under MRI procedures, only to reveal very different neural landscapes.
at the Royal London Hospital, represents a crucial level of information which enables paediatricians and designers to navigate through the emotions, feelings, sentiments, and anxieties of children more skilfully and sensitively within core settings. It essentially makes the invisible visible on a set of colour-rendered plans, identifying the predominant emotions that normally inhabit individual spaces, e.g. Polytrauma may be coloured tones of red to represent fear, terror, and anxiety, while a children’s play area may be colour
