RESUMO

The dissertation approaches the architecture projects developed by Carlos Barjas Millan (1927/1964) from 1951 to 1964, during approximately 15 years of professional work, as well as his personal and academic formation. The study object is the set of this architectural production analyzed from its insertion in the cultural and political moment, since the second Getúlio Vargas government and the country’s democratization until the 1964 Military Coup. This study provides an instrument for a systematic reflection about the architect Carlos Millan’s work and about the Brazilian Modern Architecture, once the literature concerning his career and architectonic production is scarce and little specific. The study concerning Millan’s professional development and his projects from the drawing archives holdings of the FAUUSP library aims at a better understanding of the architect’s career, who worked with architecture, urban planning, furniture design, as a professor of FAUM and FAUUSP, and passed along two polarized groups of modern architecture in São Paulo, in the 50’s and 60’s, represented by Miguel Forte and Vilanova Artigas. Carlos Millan’s work was not very numerous, relatively restrict to São Paulo city, being the great majority of residences, which does not reduce the importance of his production. Through the rescue of the architect’s career, the study of the professional biography and of the projects of this research, the incorporation of this instrument as an organized database characterizes an important stage for future studies about the Modern Architecture of São Paulo and Brazil. This study aims at a better comprehension of the Brazilian architecture development considering that hypothesis that have already been identified by the historiography are reflected in the projects studied here: the concern of a group of Brazilian architects about the technologic development, searching for formal solutions, for techniques and esthetics with cultural roots inserted in a project of modernization of the country. The dissertation gathers in a single research information about projects developed by Millan during his professional activity by a compilation of drawings and pictures of the most significant work of his career, allowing a better access to the projects by means of a research instrument with detailed and organized data, and with analyses relating the projects among themselves and with the historical moment of their production.
