Defense date: 11/07/2016

Abstract

This work presents an examination on the relationship between architecture
and photography concerning the specialized magazines through the rapid
process of modernization that took place in Brazil from the 1950s. Supported by
an investigation on the history of architectural photography and the development
of the modern illustrated magazine standard, we conduct a brief graphical
analysis of the first circulation phase of Módulo magazine (1955-1965), aiming to
relate some of the publication aspects to the research made and ratify the
importance of graphic memory to the Brazilian modern architecture
historiography.
