Description: Catalogue of the architectural production of architect João Batista Vilanova Artigas (1915-1985), with special emphasis on the production of single-family homes designed between 1967 and 1981, and that exemplify the conformation of the Paulistaʺ house model, adopted later by leading architects from Sao Paulo. The book comprises original drawings and photographs in custody of the University of São Paulo and in the private collections of the architect, conforming a fundamental iconography to the story of 20th century Brazilian architecture and in particular of the cultural history of the State of São Paulo. The book originates from the doctoral thesis presented in July 2008 in the Universidade Politécnica da Catalunha (Spain) by Marcio Cotrim under the guidance of professors Fernando Alvarez Prozorovich (Spain) and Abilio Guerra (Brazil), who signed the presentation of the book.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 294-299).
