Ao ar livre: anteprojeto arquitetônico de um escola infantil no Vergel do Lago

Abstract

The neighborhood Vergel do Lago, located in Maceió - Alagoas, has long suffered from lack of investment, many families survive on the sustenance taken from the waters of the Mundaú lake and many of them live in precarious settlements on the banks of the lake, in an unhealthy way and without infrastructure, besides the area has become known as violent. It was noticed the lack of equipment that would supply the demand for early childhood development, so this final graduation work aims to propose a School for Early Childhood Education in the Vergel do Lago neighborhood that would serve as a transforming agent not only for the children, but for the whole community. The project was conceived through literature review, site knowledge, data survey and analysis of design references. Over the years, institutions and people interested in transforming the neighborhood for the better have been emerging, and little by little the change that had its origin in a farm, where Vergel means “orchard”, is flourishing again.
