Abstract
In Coahuila, the number of institutionalized children increased significantly, from 304 in 2019 to 822 in 2020,highlighting the insufficiency of public child care facilities, as there are only two belonging to the DIF in the
state. This research compiles architectural theories and strategies aimed at optimal child development,
integrating them into the design of NIDO, a comprehensive development center for children and adolescents at
risk or in extraordinary situations.
The project applies approaches such as sensoriality and humanization of spaces, community
integration, architectures for play, and the Montessori method. The proposal includes a residential,
educational, and recreational complex that prioritizes the sense of "self", multifunctional spaces, and a
perspective focused on the child's experience. In addition, it promotes interaction with the community to
prevent the isolation of minors and includes comprehensive and professional training programs for young
people, facilitating their future social reintegration.
This study highlights the relevance of architectural design in environments intended for children and its impact
on the comprehensive development of children and adolescents, both in short and long term.
