This study attempts to determine to what extent the patrons of Iowa Park School are progressive or traditional in their educational thinking by obtaining at first hand their reactions to some of our present-day educational practices, which authorities in the field agree are progressive or traditional. It also attempts to determine whether such factors as sex and economic status influence educational attitudes of parents, and whether the parent's viewpoint affects the scholastic achievement of the child.

The first Brazilian school designed with this new concept was the Platoon school in 1931, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, then the Federal District, designed by architect Enéas Silva. In 1949, in Salvador, architects Diogenes Rebouças, Hélio Duarte Paulo Antunes Ribeiro designed the Centro Educacional Carneiro Ribeiro, composed of a School Park and four Class Schools. In 1957, the architect José Reis built in the new capital, Brasília, the Centro Educacional Elementar. It should be noted that Teixeira directly guided architectural program of these three schools. Other schools have implemented starting with his legacy, in 1949 was formalized a partnership between the State Government and the Municipality of São Paulo Capital, which resulted in the construction of 52 schools under the command of architect Hélio Duarte. From 1983, were built in the State of Rio de Janeiro, 502 Centros Integrados de Educação Pública. In 1991, in Brasília, was created the Centro de Atenção Integral a Criança. Finally, in 2001, was proposed Centro de Educação Unificado, in São Paulo. It was observed that, over the years, despite being held the original buildings of Schools Parks, have changed some forms of occupation and use of architectural spaces in order to increase the service capacity of the number of students, which partially misread the original design of Anísio Teixeira. / Este trabalho investiga sete modelos de escolas públicas brasileiras construídas com a orientação filosófica de Anísio Teixeira (1900-1971), caracterizada por uma escola de período integral onde a criança pudesse experimentar, raciocinar, pensar, formar hábitos e valores democráticos As escolas estudadas e visitadas possuem proposta arquitetônica que reflete um programa funcional diferenciado, com espaços como: auditório, ateliê, estúdio, biblioteca e áreas de convivência A primeira escola brasileira idealizada com este novo conceito foi a Escola Platoon, em 1931, situada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, então Distrito Federal, projetada pelo arquiteto Enéas Silva. Em 1949, em Salvador, os arquitetos Diógenes Rebouças, Hélio Duarte e Paulo Antunes Ribeiro projetaram o Centro Educacional Carneiro Ribeiro, composto por uma Escola-Parque e quatro Escolas-Classes. Em 1957, o arquiteto José Reis construía na nova capital federal, Brasília, o Centro Educacional Elementar. Saliente-se que Anísio Teixeira orientou diretamente o programa arquitetônico destas três escolas. Outras escolas se implantaram partindo de seu legado; em 1949 foi formalizada uma parceria entre o Governo do Estado de São Paulo e a Prefeitura da Capital, da qual resultou a construção de 52 Escolas Parques sob o comando do arquiteto Hélio Duarte. A partir de 1983, foram construídos no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, 502 Centros Integrados de Educação Pública. Em 1991, em Brasília, foi criado o Centro de Atenção Integral a Criança. Finalmente, no ano de 2001, foi proposto o Centro de Educação Unificado, em São Paulo. Observou-se que, com o passar dos anos, apesar de terem sido mantidas as construções originais das Escolas Parques, foram alteradas algumas formas de ocupação e utilização dos espaços arquitetônicos, a fim de elevar a capacidade de atendimento do número de alunos, o que descaracterizou parcialmente o projeto original de Anísio Teixeira.

The Apollo Project investigates the recent establishment of numerous private educational institutions in the inner city of Pretoria. It identifies the need for adequate urban educational facilities and explores the use of existing buildings as schools. An existing educational cluster is identified at the eastern edge of the inner city, defined by Church, Du Toit and Pretorius Streets, and Nelson Mandela Drive. This city block and the ones surrounding it contain numerous primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions in a predominant industrial/automotive precinct. An urban design framework is proposed for the precinct. It is envisioned that the precinct may be developed as a mixed-use urban educational campus. Within the existing city block and the urban framework proposal, the Apollo Centre, located on the corner of Church-and Du Toit Street, is selected for an adaptive re-use intervention. The proposed use is an urban primary school. The Apollo project investigates current pedagogical trends, which informed a concept that is largely defined by the idea of contextual learning within a vertical structure. Transparency and integration of education with the urban environment is at the core of the proposal. The traditional notion of horizontal education is explored in a vertical manner. The existing structure is analyzed and a position taken regarding the adaptive re-use process that informs the design. Precedent Studies include existing schools within the inner city of Pretoria as well as local and international schools. The process of converting the Apollo Centre into a primary educational facility, that shares its resources on a cross-programming basis, is explored in a series of proposals. The numerous explorations are considered in their various aspects, as well as their relationship to the whole, which then leads to a final design proposal. Key areas of the proposed Apollo Primary School will finally be resolved technically. A conclusion summarizes the author’s thoughts on the result of the project. / Mini Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted
