An interactive conceptual multisensory model to elevate creativity of undergraduates: a review of literature

There's a great interest in creativity and innovation in today's world and it is vital for the educators to create mechanisms that can aid students in instilling and boosting the skills that are essential in generating creative ideas in the process of design, ensuring originality, novelty, and authenticity. This research proposes a novel idea on enhancing creativity levels in the contexts of Architecture and design education; The ‘enKindler’ Space, a conceptual multisensory model which is interactive and entertaining. Incorporating the domain of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) the proposed space will recognize the user, determine, and activate a customized multisensory experience, monitor sensory stimuli activation, and enable students to be sensory aware, form cognitive interactions and develop new neural pathways that could aid in being highly creative, as an innovative and practical solution.
It is recommended to assess the impacts of the proposed ‘enKindler’ space on elevating creativity focusing on its effectiveness, short term and long-term impacts with reference to diverse student samples to improve its feasibility, practicality, sustainability, and effectiveness as a model which could be applied in large scale in different creative academic disciplines to boost creativity and innovation.
