Abstract

BENCOSTTA, Marcus Levy. Mobiliário escolar francês e os projetos vanguardistas de Jean Prouvé e André Lurçat na primeira metade do século XX. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2013, n.49, pp.19-38. ISSN 0104-4060.

This paper aims to investigate the history of school furniture as a component of a modernity that has the speeches and projects idealized by architects as one of its centers of discussion. This is an attempt to see them as authentic pieces of research that facilitate the understanding of one face of material culture school. With this theme, I place in scene the appreciation of the role of these professionals, many of them unknown for the historiography of education who, together with educators and doctors, thought possible paths to a school that was trying to become modern. Thus, my analysis will concentrate on the reality of Western Europe in the first half of the twentieth century and the role some French architects played as protagonists in setting up furniture that sought to achieve demands which would favor the health and learning of students in the classroom.

Keywords : School Material Culture; Architecture School; School Furniture; History of Design.
