Anteproyecto de un centro de desarrollo infantil con enfoque sensorial para niños de escasos recursos de la Parroquia Vuelta Larga, Esmeraldas

Abstract

Nowadays, the attention and priority of educational centers are of great relevance since they are the first places for children to learn. In addition, it should be considered that social, cultural, and economic problems can hinder their development. For this reason, several architects have considered sensorial architecture as a learning strategy, given thatthe stimulation of their senses characterizes children’s development. Based on the above, this degree projectaims to apply sensory architecture criteria in designinga child development center in the Vuelta Larga parish to harmonize learning environments in which the senses are privileged as a knowledge tool. For this purpose, a bibliographic study and comparison of referent cases that apply educational and sensorial principles was conducted. This makes it possible to generate strategies and understand that criteria such as color, light, scale, materiality, and ways of feeling are closely and importantly related to education.
