PROPOSTA DE UM ANTEPROJETO DA BIBLIOTECA MUNICIPAL DE NAVIRAÍ COM BASE NA NEUROARQUITETURA

Abstract

The present work aims to develop a preliminary design proposal for the Naviraí Municipal Library, based on the principles of neuroarchitecture. The choice of this theme is justified by the need for a space that adequately meets the cultural and educational demands of the local community, given that the existing library has inadequate infrastructure and a limited collection. The adopted methodology involved the application of an online questionnaire to evaluate the users' perception and their expectations regarding improvements. Case studies of three contemporary libraries that exemplify the integration between architecture, functionality, and user well-being were also conducted. The analysis of the questionnaire results revealed a preference for comfortable reading spaces, study rooms, and outdoor areas, as well as concern about the psychological and emotional impact of the design of the environments. These data corroborate the importance of a holistic approach to library planning, considering not only functional aspects but also the subjective needs of users. The analyzed case studies demonstrated innovative architectural solutions that value integration with nature, transparency, and spatial fluidity, reflecting the principles of neuroarchitecture. The development of this preliminary design aims to create a municipal library that meets the current demands of the community, promoting access to information, learning, and social interaction in a stimulating and welcoming environment.
