      The first book of the collection "Latin America: Thoughts" presents a collection of Abilio Guerra's texts that gravitate around a birthmark of modernism in Brazil. At issue is the belief (found in texts, narratives and speeches from 1920-1940) in an alternative modern action – where culture and nature play leading roles – which because of its discursive effectiveness metamorphoses into real features of Brazilian modern architecture.

      The second book of the collection "Latin America: Thoughts" presents Carlos Teixeira's texts written between 1999 and 2015, previously published in Vitruvius, architecture portal in Brazil. This republication is not a simple collection, but rather a curated selection that defines a coherent and articulate narrative with texts previously isolated, illuminating some simple themes - social segregation, spatial fragmentation, car-oriented urbanism - and some unusual ones- the grass, the void, the reverse, the stilts.

      The third book of the collection "Latin America: Thoughts" brings together texts written by Otavio Leonidio since 2005. Dispersed until now, the texts address three main themes: the thought and action of the great ideologist of Brazilian modern architecture – Lúcio Costa; the presence of Brazilian modern architecture in the contemporary production (here represented by the works of Angelo Bucci, Christian de Portzamparc, Álvaro Siza and Lelé); and, finally, the complex relation between contemporary art and architecture.

      The fifth book of the collection "Latin America: Thoughts" presents a collection of Ruth Verde Zein's articles on architectural theory, history and critic, arranged around three themes: Teaching and research, case studies and panoramas. Essays that share the belief that architectural design process is both creation of the new and connection with the relevant tradition and that being an eminently practical activity, its completion and renewal only occurs when it relates to conceptual issues.
