Thus, the understanding of the discursive assembly of Brazilian modern is, at the same time, the understanding of its efficiency in the constitution of an art and of an architecture with its own characteristics. The comprehension of such historic phenomena happens, therefore, through a speech that describes, constitutes and legitimizes itself. Finally, it won't be useless to mention that some of the selected articles are nothing more than simple registers of the architectural culture - something with partial and provisional analysis about architecture's teaching, critic or historiography -, which we must read with the same unpretentiousness that motivated them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nhamerica Press LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780996405133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Abilio Guerra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51990822486197,"sku":"9780996405133","price":22.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_57e113d7-f1ae-4c6e-a3a2-1166629003fe.jpg?v=1762837915","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/architecture-and-nature-essays-by-abilio-guerra-9780996405133","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
