The architect, Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992), has long been considered
one of the major modern architects of the twentieth century in
Brazil. Her iconic Museum of Art of Sao Paulo (1968), and the bold,
Social Service for Commerce Building-Pompeia, Sao Paulo (1986),
have gained recognition in recent years and her reputation is
beginning to be acknowledged internationally. Bo Bardi's major
writings on architecture, however, have not been translated, and
are not well known. This book contains the first English-language
translation of Propeadeutic Contribution to the Teaching of
Architecture Theory, (Habitat, Ltd. Sao Paulo, 1957), a seminal
text, published in Portuguese by the Italo-Brazilian Bo Bardi. It
is arguably the first published writing on architecture theory by a
practicing woman architect. Accompanying the translation is an
introductory essay that interprets Bo Bardi's text as a critical
and constructive theory of architecture built from a collection of
textual and visual artifacts. This translation clearly renders Bo
Bardi's work in English, and contextualizes it theoretically,
taking into account the specific historical sources and
contemporaneous discourses from which it draws. With comparisons to
other important architectural pedagogies and theoretical texts of
the period, it is also an inquiry into the nature of architecture
history and theory, its role in education and its relation to
practice.
