Shrnutí:This study discusses the use of historicist elements in the architecture produced in the contemporary period in the city of Florianópolis (SC, Brazil), the values involved in their use and their role in the construction of the city’s image. It takes as a case study the capital of the state of Santa Catarina based on the recognition of the massive use of this language in the city, which is a result of the accelerated process of growth and of the important role of commercial real estate industry, related to the urban-touristic development, in this process. The study, based on various theoretical and conceptual references, discusses the topic from the following aspects: the development of architectonic historicism with the weakening ofthe functionalist discourse of modernism, the relationship  between architectonic historicism and real state speculation and the ease of capture and proximity to this language by the public. Empirically, the study was conducted using a method that analyses, classifies and groups the architecture with such features from different variables: use, scale, time of construction, proposal of urban inclusion and values expressed. This classifi cation makes it possible to reveal specific aspects of this architectonic manifestation, the values expressed and its role in the construction of the contemporary landscape that is constructed in the island of Santa Catarina.Key words: historicist architecture, architectonic language, architectureand construction of the urban space, Florianópolis.
