Abstract

This project aims to support a research period in the Benson Library of Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS), in the University of Texas at Austin, United States. It means an important step forward of the research "Brazilian Architecture in the Military Rule: from Developmentalism to the Economic Miracle crises", in march at the Research Group, of the Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning of the University of Sao Paulo at Sao Carlos, with support of CNPq and FAPESP. This approach from one of the main North American centers of studies related with the Latin America, LLILAS, will allow an overview of resources for research in several countries, which will be explored in new phases of the project. We intend to run journals, thesis, books of the Benson Library from five thematic axis of this research project, creating an reference bibliography for further researchers. (AU)
