Capital limits: the design and the manufacturing workplace

Abstract

It approaches the relation in Sérgio Ferro's first production side by side with Flávio Império and Rodrigo Lefèvre and with the São Paulo modern architecture scene in terms of its ideology and language scope before the 1964 military coup and the radical criticism that they would later elaborate. Witch it affiliated to the Brazilian Marxist intellectual interpretive approach, which was related to the duality between archaic and modern. It enlightens the commitment of their ideas to users and architects with a view for a solution for the housing construction with social concern. It is about bourgeois residences designed by Ferro, characterized by construction sites served as heterogeneous manufacturing laboratories - Boris Fausto’s house, in São Paulo - and organic manufacture - Bernardo Isller’s house, in Cotia – this one in a dome design.
