VAZQUEZ-RAMOS, Fernando Guillermo. Pictures at an Exhibition: A promenade architectural through the work of Eduardo de Almeida. Rev. Arquit. [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.2, pp.28-43. ISSN 1657-0308.  https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2017.19.2.78.

This paper aims to provide a descriptive, analytical, and reflective approach to the work of Brazilian architect Eduardo de Almeida. The method of this approach is a promenade through 54 years of work, following an interpretive walk Almeida proposed in his last lecture in São Paulo, in 2014. Visions of the creator and the critic are intertwined here, based on interpreting works and ideas. The focal points of the text highlight some key features of the oeuvre of the architect: rigor, rationality, tectonic and modular thinking, sensitivity, and discretion. These elements define, as well as determinate, the results of the discussed projects. Although for methodological reasons we do not intend to reach any conclusion, this promenade demonstrates that the creative work developed by Almeida was the result of a constant overlapping of clarifying layers of rationality and analysis of his own architectural practice, which, determined by the profession, helped to build the architect's position.
