New Book!


Leia esse post em português

Recently, the brasilian publisher Perspectiva released one more book to it´s collection of architecture titles: Brasil: Arquiteturas após 1950 (architecture in Brasil after 1950)




The book was witten by Maria Alice Junqueira Bastos and Ruth Verde Zein, and brings an historical perspective of the years between 1950 e 2000, trying to indentify which questions perpassed the last 50 years of brasilian architecture. The authors write about buildings from all regions of Brasil in orther to illustrate their arguments, on a concise and consistent narrative.

According to the publisher, the book came to fulfill the gap that existed on brasilian recent architectural history bibliography, and is a continuation of the work done by Yves Bruand years before.

I´m quite sure the book will become a classic, and will be incorporated to many architecture schools libraries.

A great reading option, not only to students, but also to those interested in learning about Brasil´s architectural history.

Price: from R$ 52,50 to 75,00 (brasilian reais)

Online selling: Livraria BKS, fnac, Livraria Cultura, Livraria Saraiva.

Note: Only available in portuguese.
