BENCOSTTA, MARCUS LEVY. THE REGULATIONS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS IN BRAZIL: THE EXAMPLE OF THE STATE OF PARANÁ IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY. Educ. rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e23401.  Epub 02-Abr-2021. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-23401.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the regulations that guided the construction of buildings for graded primary schools for children in Brazil, specifically those located in the State of Paraná, between the years 1901-1938. The problematization that I propose places the child as the main user of this architecture, which, in the discourse of government regulations, was organized to house, protect and train future citizens and workers of the young Brazilian republic. The analytical components adopted in this research reinforce the importance of studies on architecture intended for the school universe, which, on the one hand, highlight that the normative grammar adopted in the various regulations and other construction documents for school buildings, were specific readings originating from the adult context of the political authorities, educators, doctors and hygienists in the elaboration of measures on the best way to shape the child in the school space. The choice of the first decade of the 20th century to set the stage for this research is justified because it was a period of frank expansion of Brazilian school architecture. Across the country, there was an increase in the demand for schooling and, consequently, the construction of new schools, which caused the need to review and prepare more recent versions of normative regulations about the construction of school buildings.
