"Digital Inventory Of Curitiba’s Modern Architecture: The Architect's House 1961-1985” (Universidade Positivo)

The research involved creating a digital inventory of 10 houses with modern characteristics, designed by architects for their own homes in the city of Curitiba (Brazil), in the periods between the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

The goal of the research was to document and analyze the development of modern architecture in Curitiba during these three decades. The research team identified and visited the houses of the architects Jaime Lerner, Othelo Lopes, Leo Grosmann, Orlando Bussarelo, Julio Pechman, Abrão Assad, Oswaldo Navarro, Maria Nadir de Carvalho, Manoel Coelho, and Fernando and Ivoni Canalli, which were then documented through photographs, drawings, digital mockups, written descriptions and interviews with the architects who designed the houses.
