RESUMO

This work aims to analyze the relationship between architecture and the city of Fortaleza in the urban interventions by local government during 1991 and 2002. It intends to relate those projects to the political discourse by governors on ?modernization? of the state of Ceará, to the construction of an urban image attractive to investments and tourist consumption, and the production of spaces of spectacle in the context of post modernity, yet searching for an explanation of their historical, social, economical, political and cultural conditions. The empirical object of this study consists of works like the renovation of Ferreira Square (1991), the new Central Market (1994-1998), the Park of the City (1999-2002), the renovation of the shore sidewalk and of the boardwalk in Praia de Iracema (1994), and the Dragão do Mar Cultural Center. It also presents projects from architectural and urban design competitions like Fortaleza Atlântica (1998), National Competition of Ideas for Embellishment and Valorization for Downtown Fortaleza and Park of the City (1999) and the project for a Fair and Events Center (2002).
