Estrategias neuroarquitectónicas para el diseño de espacios educativos multisensoriales: un enfoque en el desarrollo y aplicación RVI

Abstract

Neuroarchitecture comprises neuroscience and architecture as adjacent disciplines, which conceive the concept to understand the resulting behaviors of people from the experience in an architectural space. Educational spaces are part of the cognitive development of a society, however, the architecture applied for these spaces is mostly obsolete and has been reproduced until today in the city of Bogotá, as confirmed by the author (Malaver, 2013) who interviews the doctor of architecture Frank Locker, who warns that students face spaces with lack of natural lighting, no ventilation, confined spaces, linear and repetitive ergonomics, noise, textures, colors and smells that do not stimulate the nervous system, memory and information acquisition. The research seeks to promote through neuroarchitecture the cognitive development of students, based on the experience and architectural study in educational spaces of the Universidad la Gran Colombia located in the city of Bogotá, using a quantifiable method through surveys and characterization of existing educational classrooms, then, architectural and sensory strategies are planned based on neuroarchitecture that are applicable to the study spaces through 4 multisensory scenarios created with technology and immersive virtual reality. Finally, the immersive experience is measured in students through surveys that will be contrasted with initial empirical results generating a conclusion and confirming if it is possible that neuroarchitecture applied in educational scenarios can promote the cognitive development of students.
