The first architects of Pará

the absence of diversity in the exercise of Modern Architecture in Belém (1964 to 1970)

Abstract

This article addresses the lack of diversity among the authors of Modern Architecture in Belém. The exercise of architecture is explored through a historiographical perspective, with a historical-cultural parallel between the prevalence of the white man and the first architects graduated from the School of Architecture of the Federal University of Pará in 1964, with the purpose to identify factors of privilege of a certain class of architects. It appears that the class was mostly represented by men and from a privileged social class, who chiefly obtained great productive recognition in the Modern Architecture of Belém, noting the need for persistent research on causal factors.
