The architecture of schools as an object of research in History of Education

One of the guiding ideas of this research is to consider the organization of school spaces as one of the movements that allows us to recover the history of the educational Establishments, enabling a new reading of these school environments, one that aims at identifying the factors - political, social, cultural and economic - that interfere in the formulation and implementation of the educational policies that have originated the current school spaces. Following an academic trajectory marked by intimacy with issues related to the theme, the role of the organization of space in the history of the school is discussed, highlighting the work of educator Anísio Teixeira, in three different moments where he had the opportunity to implement educational measures and reforms that enriched the planning of school buildings: in the State of Bahia (1924-1928), in the Federal District (Rio de Janeiro, 1931-1935), and also as the Secretary of Education and Health of the State of Bahia (1947-1951). In short, the choice of school space as an object of study is configured as a possibility for dialogue between Architecture and Education, both responsible for the organization and occupation of the school physical space, as well as its use as educational spaces.
