Subjetivando espaços modernos: arquitetura escolar em Campina Grande (1924 - 1932).

Abstract

This completion course’s work entitled "Subjetivation of Modern Spaces: New models of School Architecture in Campina Grande (1924 - 1932)" has as its object of study the architecture of schools from Campina Grande in the years 1924-1932 like a propagators of modern discourses that was are entering into these educational’s spaces. To do this we use three schools from Campina Grande’s past daily life within the time frame of our research, given that these modern practices are experienced in constructions or reform. These are: the School Group Solon de Lucena and the buildings of the Instituto Pedagógico (now Colégio Alfredo Dantas) on the Marquês do Herval and Barão do Abiaí streets. The theme of the School's architecture is still not addressed by historians of Campina Grande education, but it is of great importance for understanding the trajectory of the educational process in this city. So we seek to deepen this content in order to think like the modern discourse promoted in the city in the early twentieth century was evident within the school through practices such as classes, and consequently out of it in its architecture. To this end we use of periodic, photographies and one architectural plan, trying to see in these evidences the past uses of the schools of our research. We intervene on these sources interpreting them as a speech, as proposed by Foucault in The Archaeology of Knowledge (1986). We seek understand how these school spaces owned a education function in this context through the appropriation of the concept architecture like a program in the school by Vinao Frago and Escolano, and we also using the concept of Subjectivity Practices by Felix Guattari to understand how students dealt with the space school. We found that the school buildings were mouthpieces of a new era in the city of Campina Grande. The school buildings not only advertisng the function of educating assigned to your building, but also projected the modernity and other reforms of the city that were to come in the course of the 1930s.
