Identifying the possibility of education from the territory itself, in a transdisciplinary perspective and that values te university outreach as something fundamental in this process, observing the school as a space with territorial educational potential. There is also a critique of the ways of doing and thinking about architecture, es-pecially with regard to training in the area, demonstrating new pos-sibilities of action from two case studies from public schools in the outskirts of the Federal District — Brazil, using active methodologies within the scope of Action Research.
