This paper discusses the planned creation of the Campus Quilombo Minas Novas, a pioneering initiative in Brazil that aims to offer technical education to quilombo communities, respecting their ways of life and promoting self-management. It details the technical advisory methods used, based on broadening the community imagination through what we term interfaces, and the challenges faced in reconciling the principles of self-determination with the bureaucratic requirements for access to public funds. The construction of the campus is presented as a self-managed construction laboratory, integrating traditional practices with technical training. Finally, the text describes the architectural design of the campus, favouring adaptation to the local context and the possibility of future expansion determined by the communities themselves.
