Colegio de experiencias a través del juego y la creatividad en la comuna 5 (San Mateo) del Municipio de Soacha

Abstract

Soacha is a municipality that has experienced rapid growth in population, fueled by social phenomena such as migration. Due to this the municipal government has had to give priority to the housing deficit by promoting and allowing the building affordable housing projects, while neglecting the construction of service projects. This includes the lack of educational facilities for pre-school, elementary, middle and high school.

Of the six existing communes of the municipality of Soacha, commune 5 [San Mateo is the one that presents the most difficulty covering the entirety of the student population, with a severe deficit of educational facilities with only 2 public schools and 33 private schools, which lack adequate facilities and infrastructure for providing the service needed. Thus, the objective is to design a new school to improve the quality of education, through an architectural design that transmits the concepts of play and creativity, through the four pillars of education, learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together and learning to be, transforming learning spaces, swapping the traditional classroom for different types of spaces that motivate independent and collective reasoning, aiding in the development of musical, artistic and cultural skills, among others, associated with the multiple intelligence theory, allowing the creation of articulative architectural spaces that motivate students in their academic practice.
