Proposal: Studies on the State Foundation for the Development of Education (Fundação para o Desenvolvimento da Educação – FDE) design process show that professionals working for this foundation need support during the design process, especially to verify designs under development. This paper analyses design evaluation methods to verify the applicability for the construction of a specific method to evaluate school building designs in the State of São Paulo. Methods: A survey was held and three methods were selected for analysis: DQI for Schools (Design Quality Indicator), (DQI, 2010), the method called “Evaluation method for school building design with optimization of aspects of environmental comfort” (GRAÇA & KOWALTOWSKI, 2004) and Comparative floorplan analysis (VOORDT, VRIELINK & WEGEN, 1997). The sample is composed of school building designs documented by FDE (2006). Results: The results of the analysis of the three methods highlight the necessities for a school building design evaluation method that includes specific instruments to analyse both objective and subjective data within its structure. Design evaluation requires objectivity both in the application of the method and in result visualization, alongside a quick return of information to support the architectural design process. Essential also is the inclusion of specific design requirements for local conditions.Downloads
