Propuesta de Diseño Interior y mobiliario modular para el Centro de Educación Infantil “Luna” en Cuenca - Ecuador

Abstract

This project proposes the complete redesign of an early childhood education center located in Cuenca, with the goal of creating a holistic environment that responds to the emotional and physical needs of preschool children. The design is based on a pedagogical approach that values active learning and free play as fundamental pillars of child development. In this context, one of the key elements of the proposal is the integration of modular furniture, conceived as a tool that provides functional and spatial flexibility, allowing the environments to be adapted to diverse educational dynamics.This furniture is designed with ergonomic, safe, and aesthetic criteria, promoting both autonomy and interaction among users. Through an analysis of the existing space—considering lighting, ventilation, materials, and layout—as well as research into national and international benchmarks, solutions are proposed that improve the center’s environmental conditions and enhance the educational experience. The proposal prioritizes the use of environmentally friendly materials, the use of natural light, and an open and versatile layout that fosters connections between the different spaces and stimulates children’s overall development.
