This paper aimed to justify the need for sensory application on architecture in people's daily lives, and determine which architectural factors and sensory processes should be considered for sensory application. The research focused more on institutionalized children, as sensory application on the built environment greatly influences their cognitive, physical, and social development. The study focused on the children from four institutions in Davao City. Children from ages 6 to 12 answered survey questionnaires to gauge their perceived sensory sensitivities, the perceived influence of the environment's architectural factors, and the learning activities commonly done in their institutions. Results were obtained from computing the average frequencies per category from each institution and ranking the results based on which had the most influence, and what type of influence they gave. Results showed that the children's perceived sensitivity of their senses can be greatly influenced by the architectural factors present in their built environment. In particular, the institution's size and areas, the image and scale of the physical environment, and the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) greatly influence the children's perceived sensitivity of their senses, and thus, these architectural factors should be the focus on creating and designing spaces and structures meant for these children. The children's sensory process for internal regulation should also be considered for designing learning spaces. This study recommends that subsequent researches that are on the same track as this one should also identify the children's sensory learning preferences as to make sensory application more effective in its influence. This research also recommends formulating an instrument that could determine the children's actual sensory processes' performance to increase the data's validity.

Sensory application, or the technique of stimulating or depriving a person's senses, is one of the fields slowly gaining steam in the field of architecture.
