The key to a good education lies not only in good books and the teacher's didactics. The learning environment which students attend also has a great influence on their education since the requirements for acoustic, thermal and luminous comforts, or even landscaping, directly influence the behavior and attention of the students. In Brazil, school projects can vary widely from the private sector to the public sector, yet in both cases, it is possible to find high-quality solutions.

The use of prefabricated elements, classrooms with renewed hierarchies, innovative furniture that allow different ways of occupying the rooms, and, multipurpose spaces which suggest new forms of teaching, are some of the references featured in the fifteen projects that we selected to illustrate a small panorama of Brazilian architectural production in the area of education over the past few years.
