Universidad general Roberto Leyva, para el mejoramiento educativo mediante la implementación del diseño ecopedagógico. Sede Saldaña, Tolima

Abstract

Saldaña is a municipality located in the Tolima department of Colombia, known for its agricultural and livestock sectors. However, the lack of infrastructure in the municipality has led to problems for the population, who must travel to nearby cities for services such as healthcare and education. To address the previous issue, a proposal has been made to design an academic training facility for the municipality, focusing on the interests and needs of the inhabitants. The proposed design considers the work of professionals such as architect Sergio Perea, educator Paulo Freire, and pedagogue Lev Vygotsky, who emphasize the importance of the relationship between people and their environment in education. For this reason, the proposal is to design a university, starting with the design of green spaces, recreational areas, didactic zones, among others, all designed with the relationship between the subject and the environment in mind. This will create a pleasant space that will also provide a solution to the community's needs. The keywords for this proposal are ecopedagogy, comfort, sustainability, biophilic design, and green areas.
