Crescendo sensorialmente: estudo preliminar de creche com arquitetura sensorial na educação infantil Montessoriana em São Luís - Maranhão

Abstract

Sensory architecture is a holistic approach that encompasses all the senses and seeks to create a profound relationship between humans and the built environment. The Montessori Method, on the other hand, is a pedagogical system that advocates self-education and freedom, providing quality education in a manner different from conventional methods. By integrating these two themes, it is possible to discuss and understand how sensory architecture can be applied within the Montessori environment through a preliminary study of a daycare center in São Luís, Maranhão. The methodology of this project is an applied research with a qualitative approach, utilizing bibliographic research and case studies. The research results reveal that it is possible to create educational environments that stimulate curiosity and freedom, encouraging a humanized perspective of education. Therefore, this preliminary study serves as an important tool to raise public awareness about the quality of life for children in daycare centers.
