A place where spaces teach: a preliminary architectural project about an infant and fundamental school in Parnamirim/ RN.
Draft Architecture. Educational Building. Flexibility. Bioclimatic Architecture.
This thesis addresses about topics related to school and its relationship with the designed space, and its emphasis on bioclimatic architecture and flexibility, applied in a draft of children’s education and fundamental unit school on a land in the city of Parnamirim / RN. It is a thought based on how the architecture of school buildings can transmit teachings, as well as dialogue with the educational project and to provide better performance about comfort from compliance with the local climate conditions, in our case, the Bioclimatic Zone 08. The development of the draft was based on a review of issues related to school, bioclimatic architecture and flexibility, as well as reference studies in school buildings projects. The proposal development process has a description of its stages, from the analysis of projective conditions, through the architectural, the definition of the concept of the project and preliminary studies. The school’s target audience is children aged four to ten years and has seven classrooms and can serve 160 students per shift. The projected area has 1.943,37m² which is located on the ground floor in an area with 6.141,99m². In order to check the efficiency of the building as the environmental comfort, we chosen the classroom for simulations and evaluations of natural ventilation, shading and daylighting, for which spreadsheets and computational tools were used. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the solutions presented in the proposal, given the goal indicated in the architectural programming.
