Uma escola para a comunidade quilombola Barra da Aroeira

Abstract

In Brazil, according to data from the Palmares Cultural Foundation, there are 2,474 certified quilombola communities, 38 of which are located in the state of Tocantins. In this context, quilombola school education, a modality of basic education, the result of the struggle of black and quilombola social movements, acts as a tool for transforming the country and its struggle. In view of this, the present work presents a proposal for an architectural project at the preliminary project level of a school for the Quilombola Barra da Aroeira Community, in the state of Tocantins. The methodology used in this work was the bibliographic and documental review and the field work consisted of photographic surveys and interviews with the residents of the local community Barra da Aroeira community and with, the teaching staff of municipal school Horacio Jose Rodrigues, that is located within the territory of the community. The architectural proposal presented here is a school space that seeks to meet the basic needs of the Quilombola Barra da Aroeira Community, following the national guidelines for school education.
