Abstract

The present dissertation aims to discuss the architecture of the outdoor space of primary schools, understanding its role within the school and its pedagogical practices, its social dynamics, and its environmental performance. The main goal of this research is to survey the different uses of the external spaces that support the schools, both at a pedagogical and ludic levels, while also identifying their role in the specific context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Initially, it will be identified the characteristics that these spaces should provide in order to contribute to the proper development of the child, considering their pedagogical, social, physical and motor, and comfort and health targets. The practical application will be carried out through the use of case studies, where it is intended to analyse and characterise the external spaces of primary schools in Santana, Madeira Island, in order to understand the principles that guided their development and conception, applying a Post-Occupancy Evaluation study.
