Abstract

This research aims the data collection, documentation and categorization of project collection, including the three-dimensional scale models produced by the furniture designer Michel Arnoult in the second half of the 20th century. Arnoult family to Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidad de São Paulo library (technical section of iconographic materials and rare works room of the library) donated the models in November of 2017. In a pilot project format, it aims not only the proper reception of the material, but also the creation of a system, which will allow the incorporation of other projects and three-dimensional models to the collection, in a future perspective.
