Abstract
In 1930s Brazil, new design guidelines were introduced to educational institutions, highlighting health and nationalist issues, which represented progress. Within this social, educational, and political context, it was necessary to build new schools that included a new program with a new architectural language, both in public and private educational buildings. Knowing that the constructive characteristics of a school building exert influences on individuals, this work aims to compare and identify the variations and proximities there are between the designs of a private and a public school through a bibliographic, documentary, and architectural analysis, in a comparative case study between the Ginásio Santa Margaria (1935) and the Instituto Estadual de Educação Assis Brasil (1942), located in the South of Brazil, in the city of Pelotas/RS. Through this paper, it can be observed that although the use of language is related to the materialization of the construction, its interpretation depends on the sociocultural context where the work is located.
