Text description provided by the architects. Avelar Brotero Secondary School was founded in 1884 under the name Escola de Desenho Industrial (School ofIndustrial Design). Subsequent reforms brought change to the school´s designation, but not to is academic vocation, which, to this day, in parallel to its regular syllabus, maintains a technological and workshop teaching feature. This academic programme is naturally reflected in the building the School currently occupies, as it has since 1950s. It is a building complex essentially made up of three blocks, sets of spaces structured together around a central open space.
