Abstract:
A study on the writings of Portuguese-American architect Paul F. Damaz, who popularized a discourse on the "synthesis of the arts"—European and Latin American tendencies at the crossroads of modernism and postwar reconstruction. This article proposes that he developed a comparative analysis, which legitimized modernizing initiatives in the context of the postwar European reconstruction and the rise of Cold War developmentalism, or Latin American desarrollismo.
