Abstract

Education and its infrastructure are part of one essential system for a country's social and economic development. School buildings should be places that stimulate teaching and learning activities, contributing with diversity to individual and collective creativity and the exchange of knowledge. To comprehend how such spaces can be provided and how they are used on a daily-basis is important to understand how the physical school environment influences teaching and learning activities. The main goal of this study is to analyze the interaction between users (students/students and students/teachers) and between them and the educational spaces. School architecture acts on the typical educational activities being developed, and understanding this relationship is the aim of this research proposal. Middle schools, of the type called "Ensino Fundamental II", located in the state of São Paulo - Brazil, will be selected for the sample. Diverse architectural configurations (conventional and flexible or open plan designs) will be chosen for four case studies. The research has an exploratory/descriptive approach, with quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (observations and questionnaires) data analysis. The concept of "Behavior Settings" (Barker) will be used as an observation and mapping method. The design "patterns" of Nair, Fielding and Lackney will be applied to register spatial architectural aspects. The occurrences of the "learning modalities" of Lippman are considered essential to support a quality education and these will be identified. The results will be structured and graphically mapped. A panorama of the diverse educational environments will be created to contribute to the debates on tendencies in school architecture. Contributions are seen as advancing the architectural vocabulary for school building projects to support an increased diversity of learning modalities and to question the prevailing local design status quo.
