Abstract

The current research aims to problematize the relations between historiographical changes that occurred in the conception of the history of architecture in Brazil, especially after the 1980s, and the process of acquisition of collections by the Technical Section of Bibliographic Materials of the Library of the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism (FAUUSP). At that period the consolidation of the graduate program in architecture and urbanism offered by the school and the approximation of the studies in history of architecture to the human sciences were in progress. Still, It is possible to observe a progressive distancing from the projectual practice that marks the search activities, on the part of researchers, for new analytical and methodological frameworks. This path is accompanied by the increase in the number of studies in the field, as well as the diversification of document typologies used in investigations on the history of architecture, and the dialogues established with various disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, economy and history. In order to understand the relations between the described historiographical change and the processes of acquisition of collections by the library, this research takes as reference the information from its database, establishing a dialogue with the intellectual production of prominent faculty members linked to the study of history of architecture. It seeks, finally, to understand the complexity of this bibliographic collection to the construction of various theoretical frameworks. (AU)
