Title: Vilanova Artigas
Description: The work published here makes an important contribution to the studies of architecture in São Paulo, in particular on the language of the project in the work of Vilanova Artigas. It makes it possible to analyze the architect's path in an unprecedented way because it subverts the interpretations that predominate in the set of studies on Artigas' work so far, generally the product of impressionist considerations about his political and ideological performance, faced with a determining weight in the creation of your architecture. It also breaks with some conceptions of the history of architecture, generally inspired by the history of construction techniques and the use of materials, which accommodate the architect's work in phases and stages, outlining an ascending, strange and artificial time curve.
