Sinapse: Instituição de ensino embasada em neuroarquitetura para crianças da fase escolar

Abstract

This article proposes an innovative approach to the design of educational institutions for children in the school phase, grounded in the principles of neuroarchitecture. The strategic choice of the site, near the Sóter Ecological Park, reflects the intention to integrate the institution into the surrounding natural environment. The site analysis, aligned with the Campo Grande Master Plan, establishes a solid foundation for design decisions, ensuring harmony between pedagogical needs and urban and environmental guidelines. The proposal encompasses a detailed analysis, exploring specific design elements such as thematic rooms, contemplation areas, and sports spaces. The article highlights how the architectural environment can be a significant facilitator for children's learning and well-being through strategies involving lighting, colors, scents, sounds, comfort, ergonomics, layout, active design, biophilic design, and playful architecture. The theoretical framework is based on extensive bibliographic research on architecture for school-age children, fundamental education in later years, and learning systems. This research includes books, theses, dissertations, articles, websites, as well as field investigations, photographic surveys, interviews, and questionnaires. These elements contribute to the development of innovative and ergonomically designed educational institutions aimed at stimulating learning and prioritizing principles such as children's freedom and a holistic education focused on the future.
