Projecto nova Faculdade de Arquitectura e Planeamento Físico: espaço de ensino inclusivo

Abstract

This work is part of the culmination process of the course and its main scope is the project of the new facilities of the Faculty of Architecture and Planning. The focus is, ultimately, to study the teaching space in school architecture. The study addresses various issues and variables that contribute and reflect positively, directly or indirectly, on the efficiency of teaching environments or spaces and how they impact the quality of teaching and learning. The work deals with various concepts, focusing on inclusive school architecture. It seeks to make teaching more comprehensive, from the perspective of accessibility, diversity, and equality. It presents solutions of spatial models that fit the context and reality, seeking to create environments that are intuitively understandable and usable by all. It promotes equal access and use of built spaces. It is an approach that values human diversity and sees it as a wealth to be explored in design, rather than a problem to be solved. This results in environments that are more welcoming, comfortable, and accessible. In this way, the work addresses solutions of inclusive, dynamic, accessible spatial design, with diversity of forms and spatial qualities, using conventional construction systems and materials, adapted to the context of insertion. It seeks to be not only an architectural project but also a support element and foundation of the projection process of new teaching and learning spaces. It incorporates new unique architectural aspects that seek more gains and efficiency of the built object, such as sustainability and integration
