Abstract

The thesis proposes an interpretation of the Educational Plan of Brasilia through the crossing of readings on three of its aspects. Appropriations of circulating ideas about education and city, the urbanism of its Pilot Plan, and the typology of its school place in relation to the daily practices of its implementation are topics from which a myriad of characters, proposals, concepts and meanings have been mobilized to treat of the educational dimensions of the urbanity project designed for the new capital. The work of Anísio Teixeira aligned the proposed interpretation, functioning as a north and a cut for the set of circumstances understood as fundamental precedents of the formulation of this educational project. Its trajectory, however, is thought of as a special opportunity to confront relations, exchanges and dissonances between the fields of education and architecture and urbanism, both nationally and internationally. Within the limits of an interdisciplinary reading between architecture, urbanism and education, the thesis formulates a narrative about the production of the school space in the context of modernity that built Brasilia.
