Abstract

The present research internship proposal is related to the project "Situationist International and Superstudio: Utopia and Architecture", research level master 2 conducted by the researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of São Paulo (FAU/USP).The main objective of the research internship is accessing and analyzing unpublished or poorly disseminated documents, as well as conducting interviews to fill the bibliographic insufficiency about the situationist thinking and the discussions proposed by Superstudio. The relationship between utopia, architecture and urbanism, from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, may be therefore better understood. (AU)
