Onde se cultiva o saber: proposta para reforma e ampliação da Escola Joaquim Barbosa de Maria em Salgueiro / PE.

Abstract

The object of study of this work comprises the school architecture within the context of rural areas, through the reform and expansion of the Joaquim Barbosa de Maria school, located in the city of Salgueiro, Pernambuco. Considered as a concept under construction, rural education has in its essence the countryside as a place of countless possibilities, prioritizing people, their culture and their needs. Considering that the urban space has always been prioritized in Brazilian educational policies, frequently the schools in rural areas have lack of resources, uncomfortable environments (in which the physical and climatic conditions are little explored), besides being submitted to pedagogical plans that do not incorporate or value the local reality. The study and investigation about the JBM school allowed for a better understanding about the functioning of the institution and its dynamics with the local community, also resulting in a series of information that helped in the development of improvement proposals for the school environment. As a result, we obtained a proposal for renovation and expansion that sought to solve the demands identiied around aspects related to the program, the spatial organization and performance and the infrastructure of the school.
