Arquitetura além do olhar: centro da infância de reabilitação da aprendizagem em São José do Rio Preto/SP

Abstract

Traditional schools do not welcome all students in the same way and there is a need for spaces that support and help those who do not fit into the pre-established standards. This work aims to elaborate a preliminary project for a Learning Rehabilitation Center, in São José do Rio Preto/SP, focused on children between 4 and 10 years old with learning disorders. Also, the project seeks to apply strategies of Sensory Architecture to propose a more welcoming, respectful, and attractive space for its users. A research was carried out regarding learning disabilities and sensory architecture, and then the area chosen for the project was studied and the preliminary design was developed. A well thought-out architecture goes beyond shapes and geometries, it stimulates the senses, meets the needs of its users, and remains imprinted in the memory.
