This dissertation addresses two examples of standard projects of kindergartens built in Ceilândia and Sol Nascente / Pôr do Sol, administrative regions of Brasilia. They result from the implementation in the Federal District of the National Programme for the Structuring and Acquisition of Equipment for the Public School Network for Child Education (Proinfância). Created in 2007, this programme aimed to finance and offer technical assistance to municipalities, responsible for the education of children between 0 and 6 years old. Proinfância provides standard projects for day-care centres to be built across the country. The standardization of buildings raises a question that is sometimes uncomfortable for those who design and build them: how does the standard project relate to the city, the neighborhood and its community? The study of the mentioned examples aims to collaborate to this debate. Methodologically, we seek to define an understanding for the term standard project, from a bibliographical review; then, we proceed to the case studies analyzed in two approaches: that of its spatial implementation, considering the relationship with the administrative region, the land and the neighborhood; and that of its social appropriation, both based on tools of evaluation of the built environment, according to Rheingantz et al. (2009).
