ABSTRACT
ARQUITETURA was the name of the journal edited by the Institute of Architects of Brazil - IAB. In this article, we seek to fit it into a global network of specialized publications, which arose in that period and was responsible for the reorganization of the modern architecture movement after WWII. Our goal was to introduce and contextualize the content of the editions, focusing on texts on urbanism and urban policy. The results indicate that ARCHITECTURE was a vehicle for the dissemination of texts by countless important Brazilian and foreign authors, revealing an intense intellectual exchange between IAB architects and other scholars. In addition, it was a radically transdisciplinary publication, connected with the political and cultural events of the period, representing a professional class committed to social justice and the social function of architecture.
