This survey fills a gap on the little studied architect. Among his many projects ont that is most emblematic is the Conjunto Nacional on Avenida Paulista in São Paulo. Other aspects in this study and basic to the understanding the work of Likeskind is this interest in art. He is also noted for his artistic production as a graphic illustrator during the 1950s and 1960s. This study is the expansion of the doctoral thesis of the author. Este trabalho concentra-se no estudo da produção para habitação unifamiliar do arquiteto David Libeskind a partir do levantamento de sua obra completa. Este levantamento se justifica porque se trata de um arquiteto brasileiro ainda pouco estudado e que possui além de sua obra emblemática - o Conjunto Nacional na Avenida Paulista na cidade de São Paulo - uma relevante produção que foi reunida e organizada para ser exposta no trabalho. Outros aspectos abordados neste estudo considerados fundamentais para compreender a obra de Likeskind são o seu interesse pela arte atestada pela sua notável produção artística e a sua atividade como ilustrador gráfico durante as décadas de 1950 e 1960 Roman Guerra Editora; EDUSP unknown books

ISBN: 0195053613 "Eugenics is the branch of biology concerned with the improvement of hereditary qualities in humans. It draws scientists into direct contact with social and political policy makers. Yet eugenic movements which have been mainly implemented by politicians often differ significantly from the original aims of the scientists. The four contributors to this volume examine the eugenic movements in Germany France Brazil and the Soviet Union. The scientific components of those programmes are considered alongside the social religious and political forces which significantly altered the original scientific goals. The book opens up new and comparative perspectives on the history of eugenics and the social aspects of science in general." – Publisher.
