Abstract

The article presents how the Brazilian Architects Institute (IAB) participated in the processes of elaboration of Brazilian public housing policies in the 1960s, using as primary source mainly reports from the specialized architecture magazines Guanabara (1961-1962) and Arquitetura (1962-1968). We also tried to demonstrate the hypothesis that the installation of the military regime in Brazil led to the removal of IAB architects from the decision making processes of housing policies, a practice that had been sewn and deepened by the Institute in the governments prior to the 1964 coup.
