Popis: The contexts of the Global South offer, in many ways, a rich and fertile field of experimentation full of new opportunities. The reduction of regulatory constraints, for example, stimulates a renewed investigation of the relationship between space and function; economic constraints are a means of avoiding the most commonplace construction models; and the encounter between different cultures facilitates expressive contamination. Among these projects, the school building plays a significant role, representing the most important infrastructure carried out in the framework of International Cooperation. In the following paper, I will try to explain the reasons for this leading role by highlighting the most significant aspects that recent school buildings have highlighted.
