About EA-UFMG

Founded in 1930, the Escola de Arquitetura da UFMG (EA-UFMG) stands as a pioneering institution in South America, distinguished as the first architecture school to emerge independently from traditional polytechnic and fine arts models. Located in the Savassi neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, the school has played a vital role in shaping the city's architectural identity, particularly through its contributions to the modernist movement. The EA-UFMG's main building, a notable example of 1950s modernism, is a protected historical landmark. The school's mission encompasses the generation and dissemination of scientific, technological, and cultural knowledge through undergraduate and graduate programs, research, and outreach in architecture, urbanism and design. EA-UFMG is committed to fostering critical, ethical individuals equipped with a solid scientific and humanistic foundation, prepared to enact transformative interventions in society and contribute to sustainable development. The institution's enduring legacy is reflected in its alumni's contributions to the built environment and its ongoing commitment to addressing contemporary challenges in Brazil and beyond.
