SUMMARY:

This thesis is situated within the discussions of centers of architectural cultural production, focusing on the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS or Institute) between the 1960s and 1980s in New York City (USA), and is included in the field of architectural theory and history. The IAUS was a non-governmental organization founded by architect Peter Eisenman dedicated to education, research, exhibitions, publications, and professional practice. The Institute was active in New York City (USA) between 1967 and 1985 and developed a series of critical and propositional positions regarding the approaches present in the field of American architecture and urbanism in the post-World War II era. This was especially true based on discussions fostered in the journal Oppositions and the range of activities carried out at the Institute: projects, publications, exhibitions, and educational programs. Therefore, the main objective of this thesis project is to analyze the theoretical contribution of the IAUS to architectural culture based on the theoretical and practical propositions of the journal Oppositions. Therefore, this work is divided into 6 parts: (1) The Introduction presents a brief overview of the academic literature's approach to the IAUS, a bibliographic review in order to provide an overview of how the Institute is perceived in academic literature. The first act, chapters (2), (3) and (4), focus on the historical context of the formation of New York's architectural culture from the beginning of the 20th century until the mid-1960s. The second act, chapters (5), (6) and (7) emphasize the IAUS as an institution and cultural center: focusing on the formation process from CASE (Conference of Architects for the Study of the Environment), foundation, main projects, areas of activity, exhibitions and editorial publications. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of the content of 23 editions of the journal Oppositions and discussion regarding the propositional approaches to architectural theory.
