  Contribuição Propedêutica ao Ensino da Teoria da Arquitetura, 2002
Text: Lina Bo Bardi
96 pages, Portuguese
Thesis presented in 1957 to the official examination to teach Theory of Architecture at Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo of Universidade de São Paulo. This research witnesses the interdisciplinary roots of Lina's work that always emphasized how "the interest of architecture and its theory concern problems of history and critics and, most of all, interpretation to serve day-by-day life" . This important contribution goes though time: from Platão, passing by Vitruvio and Leonardo da Vinci, up to the modern architecture of Walter Gropius, Frank Lloyd Wright, Lúcio Costa and of other great masters, to confirm the essentially public and social character of architecture, art from men to men.
