A Revista Projeto: representatividade e presença das regiões Norte e Nordeste do Brasil em uma perspectiva histórica

Projeto is an architecture magazine published in the city of São Paulo, and between 1977 and 1996, it was edited by Vicente Wissenbach, with collaborators from several states, whose self-declared editorial mission was to publicize the work of architects from all regions of the country, also proposing to foster criticism and debate among peers. During this period, it had 193 editions, in which it published projects of architecture, urbanism, interiors and product design. This paper has, therefore, as its object of study, the production of the magazine over these years, with a focus on 900 architecture projects published in it. The focus was to observe how the representation of the North and Northeast regions of Brazil occurred throughout the editions, quantifying the projects published in each region and in each of its states and identifying which were the architects, architectures and their characteristics, putting them in perspective in relation to other regions and states of the country, making comparisons and also some critical considerations about the space occupied by the North and Northeast of the country in that publication. The conclusions indicated in both regions the protagonisms of some architects, including recurrent presences in the national scenario.
