Centro municipal de educação infantil Montessori Abranches, Curitiba - PR: arquitetura que semeia o desenvolvimento infantil

Abstract

The present work aims to deepen the understanding of the importance of architecture in early childhood education environments and how children’s interaction with these spaces influences their development. Based on this understanding, the project of the Abranches Municipal Montessori Center for Early Childhood Education is proposed. Inspired by the Montessori Method and with an emphasis on the relevance of physical space for learning, the project aims to create an environment that stimulates autonomy, connection with nature, and social relationships. Through the analysis of case studies and design guidelines, characteristics and strategies have been identified that contribute to the creation of an educational environment suitable for children’s needs.
