Colégio Cataguases, Educational complex in Cataguases, Brazil.
The concrete structure features large windows, open spaces, and geometric forms that characterize the modernist architectural movement of the 1940s.
The school building, completed under Oscar Niemeyer's supervision, reflects the period of economic growth and cultural development in Cataguases during the mid-20th century.
The educational facility stands as part of a collection of 16 protected buildings that demonstrate the influence of modernist architecture in this Minas Gerais city.
Located near Praça Getúlio Vargas, the school continues to operate as an educational institution while maintaining its original architectural elements.
The building incorporates structural innovations that maximize natural light through strategic window placement and curved concrete elements typical of Niemeyer's designs.
