Estratégias de projeto paisagístico aplicando a biofilia em ambientes escolares: estudo preliminar em espaços livres da Escola Estadual Prof. Manoel Franco Freire em Aracaju-SE

Abstract

This paper explores landscaping in school environments, applying the concepts of biophilia. Biophilia is a concept that defines the innate attraction of human beings to nature as an evolutionary principle. Translated as “love for living things”, it is considered necessary for physical and mental health. The present paper aims to develop a preliminary study based on biophilic landscaping in the open spaces of the Escola Estadual Professor Manoel Franco Freire, located in the Jabotiana neighborhood, Aracaju, SE. In order to achieve the objectives proposed in this paper, the following methodology was used: bibliographic review, to survey the main biophilic concepts in the elaboration of a landscaping project, conceptualizing landscaping, biophilia, its applications and its benefits in school environments; documentary survey with the State Secretariat of Education and Culture (SEDUC), aiming to obtain precise information about the location; analysis of architectural and landscaping references in which biophilic requirements were applied in school spaces; on-site visit, with cadastral, photographic and historical survey of the school, with this it is possible to observe in practice the needs of the school; Delphis research with the school's teachers, through the application of a structured questionnaire guided by a script; production of maps through thesoftwareQGIS 3.36.0, with the purpose of preparing a study of spots and use of thesoftwareBIM, Revit 2023, for the technical and visual development of the project. As a result, it was possible to develop a landscape study for the school's free areas, meeting the needs raised and promoting the importance of environmental education.
