Propuesta de diseño interior multisensorial para la inclusión de niños con TDAH en el Centro de Educación Inicial Totoracocha en Cuenca-Ecuador, basado en la teoría de The Multi-Sensory Environment (MSE)

Abstract

This thesis project focuses on the interior design of the Totoracocha Early Childhood Education Center in Cuenca, Ecuador. The proposal involves creating multisensory spaces based on Christopher Davies' Multi-Sensory Environments methodology, with the aim of stimulating children's senses in a controlled manner, according to the different learning areas they receive within public educational institutions. The project's development analyzes aspects such as ergonomics, color schemes, materials, and acoustic and thermal comfort, as well as compliance with the guidelines established by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education and a review of similar projects to address the current needs and challenges of the educational center, both functionally and aesthetically. The research encompasses the analysis of the existing infrastructure, along with conceptualization, technical solutions, and three-dimensional representation, in order to improve the spatial quality of the educational environment. Ultimately, the project seeks to establish itself as a replicable model of multisensory interior design for other Early Childhood Education Centers, contributing to the inclusion and holistic development of children.
