Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the process that culminated in the spatial standardization of apartment buildings. The research considers the period between the years 1910 and 1980 and refers to the city of São Paulo. In their projects, city\'s real estate developers have vaguely used ideas disseminated by Modern Architecture, banalizing some of its concepts. The result are designs with typified buildings and floar plans, that ignore fundamental aspects such as its location and form of deployment, consumers and their spatial and social needs etc. Their conception, therefore, attends to the benefits of producers and sellers rather than those of dwellers. The research had two main themes as support for the study of the building: the forms of action in real estate market and the resultant architectural design. (AU)
