Architecture and Anthroposophy: Waldorf Education in Learning Spaces San Christoferus School and Waldorf School. Lima Peru

Abstract

How does anthroposophical architecture respond and support Waldorf pedagogy? Over the last century, it has been generated a greater interest on architects, psychologists and pedagogues on the relationship between architecture and education, an interest in placing the child as the axis of the educational system
and who must have appropriate space of learning for his development. Waldorf pedagogy has not only transformed the way of teaching but it has also generated a direct relationship with the architecture of the learning space. In this context, the study of the architecture of two schools that implement Waldorf pedagogy in different ways in the city of Lima, allows us to understand how anthroposophical architecture contributes to the pedagogical system.
