This thesis is a study of memories of school spaces experienced by teachers. The goal is to identify the conditions and dimensions of teachers work from the scholar environment and memories of the educational journey of seventeen teachers working in higher education and in high school in a city in Minas Gerais. The memories were collected through semi-structured interviews. These memories of a time and space experienced by the teachers interviewed form a narrative of the past that blends with the present time, creating meanings in his teaching activities. Thus, the common thread of this work are the memories of school space. Both the space, as the teaching are interdependent social constructs, which are influenced by the life, culture and formation of the subject. The analyzes are based on studies of architecture / space (Bachelard, Vinao-Frago, Escolano), visual culture (Hernández), space / power relations (Foucault), memory (Bergson, Bosi) and studies about teachers (Tardiff, Raymond). The school environment causes subjective and objective impacts on their inhabitants. In this sense, space produces identity, symbols and relationships which influence on teaching. Thus, from the teachers speeches can be seen that: although the ideas and teaching practices are linked to political, social and technological context, the latter is the most noticed and, for the use of space, the teacher feels trapped by higher decisions of the school board, national tests and content of the discipline.
