Rediseño interior del Centro de Educación Inicial Totoracocha en Cuenca, mediante el Método Waldorf

Abstract

This project focuses on developing an interior redesign for the Totoracocha Early Education Center, located in Cuenca. Using the Waldorf education method to generate a functional and dynamic environment, the proposal is based on creating an interior design model for the center that provides a suitable environment for students and educators.

In addition, a theoretical and architectural investigation of the essential elements of the educational center was conducted, and the topics were combined with the Waldorf methodology to develop a design proposal that incorporates the key elements to create a functional and playful space.

It is important to highlight that the Waldorf methodology focuses on the creation of a learning environment that encourages independence, freedom with boundaries, and respect for the child's physical, social, and psychological development. Therefore, the space design should reflect these principles and may include the creation of defined learning areas, the use of child-friendly furniture and materials, and the incorporation of natural and sustainable elements.
