Description
Summary:This article aims an analysis of the categories Megaform, by Kenneth Frampton, and Megastructure, by Reyner Banham, facing them by the theoretical approach of both architecture historians. It is central to make a critical and historically bounded reading of these categories, treating them concerning other concepts to which they refer, such as the ideas of place and territory, in a way to bring up also elements of a political dimension implied in it. The pertinence of both terms in Brazilian architecture historiography also appears as an essential object of reflection.
