Abstract: This handsome edition is a panoramic account of the school/education architecture constructed in Argentina covering from the buildings of the pioneer educational practice of the Jesuit order of the early 17th century to some of the monumental constructions of the decade of the 1970's. With research and texts by architect and historians Grementieri and Shmidt, the book mostly concentrates in the last 100 years: from the epoch of the state implemented the initiative of universal education in the last quarter of the 19th century to the post modernization and globalization phenomena when education was perceived as a factor of progress and equality. For over 3 years the authors, with the patronage of philanthropist and art collector Nelly Arrieta de Blaquier, travel all over Argentina documenting and photographing buildings from diverse periods and styles: rural and city schools, schoolhouses, national colleges and universities.
