Of these fifteen editions, initially we investigated the characteristics that made the magazine so exceptional among all the other magazines of this same period the crucial input of Pietro Maria Bardi and Lina Bo, the magazines role as a modern cultural project, its connection with São Paulo´s Art Museum (MASP), the diversity of subjects covered in the magazine, its historical context and the fundamental participation of its collaborators. Secondly, we focused on the architecture shown in Habitat magazine, its selection, the values it expounded and the dialogue it had with international critics, that together, collaborated for the consolidation of modern architecture in the country.
