MULTISENSORY SCHOOL
Puebla, México
Academic project | Thesis 2021-2023
THESIS
For my thesis, I embarked on a translation of psychological and pedagogical concepts into the realm of architecture. Drawing inspiration from innovative educational strategies and the specific developmental needs of children at various stages of their lives, I conceived a multi-sensory school designed to provide an ideal environment for their growth. This project is situated in San Andrés Cholula, Puebla and encompasses two levels, featuring educational spaces, support areas for parents, and administrative and service centers.
The school building is harmoniously integrated with the surrounding natural environment. The focal point of the design are the classrooms, strategically positioned to open up to themed gardens, serving as optimal learning spaces. A fundamental objective was to ensure that the beauty of Mother Nature could be appreciated from every corner of the school. This project was executed with unwavering dedication, aiming to convey the message that ‘with architecture, you can live, you can feel, and you can learn.’
Design Process
The project’s development spanned all phases of design, starting from conceptualization and site analysis, through the creation of zoning diagrams, architectural plans, installation and engineering plans, to the generation of rendered images and the presentation of findings before the evaluation panel.
