David Libeskind
This work is concentrated in the study of the production for multi-family and single family housing by architect David Libeskind (b. Brazil 1928). This survey fills a gap on the little studied architect. Among his many projects, one that is most emblematic is the Conjunto Nacional, on Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo. Other aspects in this study, and basic to the understanding the work of Likeskind, is this interest in art. He is also noted for his artistic production as a graphic illustrator during the 1950s and 1960s.
Balões, vida e tempo de Guignard
Esta é a biografia de Alberto da Veiga Guignard, a história de seus afetos, seus amores, seu trabalho, suas amizades, sua boemia, suas andanças e também de seus tropeços. Nosso personagem nasceu em Nova Friburgo, no Rio de Janeiro, em 1896, e faleceu em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, aos 66 anos.

Voltou então para o Rio de Janeiro, onde se conectou com os maiores nomes de seu tempo, e, para se desintoxicar de seus desvios alcoólicos, foi viver no campo, em Itatiaia. Depois se mudou para ...
The Kurdish Nationalist Movement
David Romano's 2006 book focuses on the Kurdish case to try and make sense of ethnic nationalist resurgence generally. In a world rent by a growing number of such conflicts, the questions posed about why, how and when such challenges to the state are mounted are becoming increasingly urgent. Throughout the author analyses these questions through the lens of social movement theory, considering in particular politico-social structures, resource mobilization strategies and cultural identity. His conclusions offer some thought-provoking insights into Kurdish nationalism, as well as into the strengths and weaknesses of various social movement theories. While the book offers a rigorous conceptual approach, the empirical material - the result of the author's personal experiences - makes it a compelling read. It will find a readership amongst students of the Middle East, and also amongst those interested in ethnic relations, minority rights, terrorism, state repression, social movement theories and many other related issues.

São Paulo nas alturas
Em reedição de best-seller, Raul Juste Lores expõe as transformações arquitetônicas que tomaram a cidade de São Paulo entre os anos 1950 e 1960. Com ilustrações de Danilo Zamboni.

Readers will discover a rich and illuminating array of material from a period crucial to understanding the present time.
Architecture of Brazil
Architecture of Brazil: 1900-1990 examines the processes that underpin modern Brazilian architecture under various influences and characterizes different understandings of modernity, evident in the chapter topics of this book. Accordingly, the author does not give overall preference to particular architects nor works, with the exception of a few specific works and architects, including Warchavchik, Niemeyer, Lucio Costa, and Vilanova Artigas.
Concrete and Culture
Concrete has been used in arches, vaults, and domes dating as far back as the Roman Empire. Today, it is everywhere—in our roads, bridges, sidewalks, walls, and architecture. For each person on the planet, nearly three tons of concrete are produced every year. Used almost universally in modern construction, concrete has become a polarizing material that provokes intense loathing in some and fervent passion in others. Focusing on concrete’s effects on culture rather than its technical properties, Concrete and Culture examines the ways concrete has changed our understanding of nature, of time, and even of material. Adrian Forty concentrates not only on architects’ responses to concrete, but also takes into account the role concrete has played in politics, literature, cinema, labor-relations, and arguments about sustainability. Covering Europe, North and South America, and the Far East, Forty examines the degree that concrete has been responsible for modernist uniformity and the debates engendered by it. The first book to reflect on the global consequences of concrete, Concrete and Culture offers a new way to look at our environment over the past century.
