BUILT TOPOGRAPHIES: SEMIOTICS HEURISTICS READING OF THREE PROJECTS OF PAULISTA ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

The aim of this article is to build up a reading that reveals a method of discovery derived from the analysis of the object itself, in this case, projects and architectural works by Vilanova Artigas, Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Angelo Bucci, as a way to understand their constituent processes as well as the associations by similarity related to the artistic that gives shape to the reality of the matter - the architecture. Along the way, we tried to minimize the reasoning by contiguity, that is, the mere existence of an architectural style unifying the works analyzed from aesthetic-constructive points common to them.  Instead, we looked at the peculiarities that make each  house presented here  a unique work   that has absorbed  knowledge from  the past by desanctifying it, opening itself to the metalinguistic plays in a vast formal repertoire that is conventionally named  paulista architecture.
