Vol. 11 No. 2 (2020): Architecture, City and Documentation
Understanding that to document is to record, to organize textual and graphic information about
investigated objects, this dossier focuses on the documentation of architectural and urban
research in Brazilian, French and Mexican cities - dialoguing variants of history, culture,
architecture and city. Considering then, that the documentation is the sum of primary sources
collected in private, public archives - composed of project materials, such as floor plans,
sections, facades, perspectives, sketches, maps, graphs, photographs, original texts - and the
material good itself built, be it a building, or a place - the purpose of this dossier is to
present to the public interested in the theme, the ways in which these “objects” have been
worked on, with regard to their preservation and conservation policies.
