“The new rural school in Missão Velha, Brazil's semi-arid region"
Myresearchfocusesonaruralareainthestate of Ceará, which faces challenges related to underdevelopment. The project explores the pedagogy of alternation, where students alternate between school and home every 15 days. This approach values rural practices, aligns education with the agricultural cycle, and enables students to contribute to their families while engaging in an education that reflects theirlocalrealities.
This project was entirely developed using the BIMRevitsoftwaretocreateconceptualdesigns and3Dmodels.

TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL
Location:Brasília
Team:CarolineB.withPPBAAteam
Software: RevitandLumion
The Technical High School is an example of Brasília’s modernist architecture, with its layout inspired by the urban design of the capital of Brazil. The school’s spatial organization divides areas for both high school and technical programs, spreading out to fully utilize the large site.
During the Schematic Design phase, I contributed tothecreativeprocess,definingtheschool’svisualidentity and facades. I also produced all technical drawings, developed the 3D model in Revit, created renders in LumionandpreparedthePermitDrawings.
The Design Development
The Technical High School was designed based on three principles: the characteristics of thesite,themodernismarchitecturalidentityof the brazilian capital, Brasília, and the high annual temperatures and low humidity during thedryseason.
The building is structured into two wings connected by a covered patio, promoting cross-ventilation and expanding shaded areas forsocializingandandoutdoorintegration.
The landscaping, characterized by organic forms, contrasts with the regular geometry of the building, guiding students and visitors to thereceptionandothercommonareas,suchas theentranceandtheamphitheater.
The auditorium extends into an outdoor amphitheater, inviting students and the community to participate in practical classes, lectures, and artistic presentations, which can eventakeplaceonweekends.
THE NEW RURAL SCHOOL IN MISSÃO VELHA, BRAZIL'S SEMI-ARID REGION

In the heart of Brazil's semi-arid region, the school project in Missão Velha stands out for its unique approach to education. By integrating local identity, practices, and the agricultural cycle, the school fosters a strong connection betweenlearningandreal-worldexperience.
To reduce dropout rates, students from remote regions spend15daysattheschool,immersingthemselvesinacademic knowledgeandpracticalskills.Duringthesubsequent15daysat home,theyapplytheirlearningtotheircommunitiesandfamily properties, reinforcing the link between education and local realities.
Beyond academics, the school collaborates with the community, promoting agroecological practices and partnering with a local health unit. This comprehensive approach aims to socially transform the region, ensuring education aligns with localneedsandchallenges.

o Projeto
While Brazil is rapidly urbanizing, a significant partofitspopulationstilllivesinruralareas,where education often remains neglected. Many schools in these regions adopt urban models, which fail to address the realities of rural life, such as accessibility and integration with agricultural practices.
Through interviews with coordinators at the JeanHébetteandDomFragosoFamilyAgricultural Schools,Ilearnedtheimportanceofdesigning schoolstailoredtoruralcontexts.Theseinstitutions successfully blend education with community engagement and agricultural activities, creating empoweringlearningenvironments.
Inspired by these examples, I developed The New Rural School in Missão Velha project, which seeks to address the specific needs of rural communities and combat social stigma through innovativeeducationaldesignandpractices.
Bioclimatic Strategies
Due to the high temperatures of the humid tropical climate (average temperatures around 27º C, low thermal amplitude, and highly irregular rainfall patterns), the project incorporates bioclimatic strategies to minimize thermaldiscomfortthroughouttheyear: - Naturalventilation; - Shading; - Evaporativecooling.
Some of the strategies adopted include rammed earth walls, solar chimneys, cross-ventilation, and agroforestry. In regions like Missão Velha, especially during the hotter months,hightemperaturescancompromise
natural ventilation, leading to thermal discomfort.
However, an effective technique to induce ventilation and extract hot air from the environment is the solar chimney. The solar chimney utilizes solar radiation to heat the air and promote the chimney effect, making it idealforlocationswithweakorabsentwinds.In otherwords,it'sanexcellentstrategyforcooling indoorspaces.
During the night, the airflow reverses, and the chimney acts as a wind collector, providing nocturnalventilation(CAVALCANTI,2011).

Following the same line of identity and sustainability, the walls are constructed with rammed earth. With a thickness of 40 centimeters, these walls not only reinforce the local identity of the construction but also promotesustainablepractices.Functioningas
