Abstract

In this Scientific research project, its intended to identify, interpret and analyse the critics made by the French sociologist Henri Lefebvre in the period compressed by the decades of 1960 and 1980 about the large scale housing projects designed and built in France after the World War II. Such analysis increases to the comprehension of the impact which the French-thinker`s ideas had in the architectonic production and critics in his contemporary Europe. (AU)
