Abstract
Architectural design has traditionally emphasized visual and spatial elements, often neglecting the role of other senses in shaping spatial experience. This research explores the significance of aroma in architecture, focusing on its ability to influence perception, evoke memory, and foster emotional connections with space. Drawing from architecture, neuroscience, and environmental psychology, the study examines both historical and modern examples of scent in design, including the use of natural materials, aromatic plants, and scent-diffusion technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on educational spaces, where aroma can enhance cognitive function and emotional well-being. The paper proposes strategies for integrating olfactory elements into architectural practice, promoting a more holistic and multi-sensory design approach.
