We analyses, besides the content at the each plan, the professional career of both authors, their engagement and the work process that they developed.

Of the sixties, the SERFHAU creation gives continuity to the institutionatization process of the town planning in Brasil and brings a very important change at the architects insertion in this camp: while of the fifties these professionals starts elaborate directors plans like autonomous, with the SERFHAU, the architecs begin to compose a multidisciplinary planning teams in association with consultancy companies.
