Abstract

To think about accessibility in school architecture is to reflect on aspects of the environment that will be determinant in the lives of different people, in a lasting and significant journey of their lives. Thus, more accessible environments make the school space an active element in the quality of the learning teaching process. In a light, school architecture should stimulate flexible and versatile environments for education, integrating internal and external spaces, with accessibility, urban connection and environmental comfort. Understanding the importance of the role of accessibility in the field of school architecture is essential to promote a quality project, with environments conducive to educational development with social inclusion. Thus, the following question was defined as problematic: what is the influence of accessibility on school architecture for the potentiation of education? To try to answer this question, the Municipal Elementary School Sandra Lobato Ferreira, located in the Ilha Mirim neighborhood, in the peripheral region of the city of Macapá, in the state of Amapá, was defined as a research site. The general objective of the research is to analyze the accessibility parameters in the school space in question, as determined by the National Fund for The Development of Education (FNDE). For this, the following specific objectives were delimited: a) to evaluate the use of physical environment of the Municipal Elementary School Sandra Lobato Ferreira; b) verify that the space provides equal use; and c) to present a proposal for an architectural preliminary project with accessibility as recommended by school legislation on minimum accessibility requirements, in order to meet the demand of that community. The research has an exploratory character with a case study, besides based on a bibliographic review performed by qualitative analysis. Therefore, it is expected that the result of this study with the proposal of a school preliminary project with accessibility, contributes to all users having autonomy and independence of use of this space.
