The bibliography as a possible biography
Publications about Clorindo Testa
Keywords:
Clorindo Testa, bibliography, writings about architecture, Summa magazineAbstract
This work traces a possible professional biography of architect Clorindo Testa based on the construction and analysis of a bibliography that brings together the publications made on his work. Although the usual definition of the term bibliography indicates that it is about a selective universe of texts related to the study of a given topic, here the object of study is that particular inventory with the purpose of creating a facilitating tool for those who start new researching projects on Testa’s trajectory. In a second instance, the aim of this work is to carry out a useful mapping, during the discovery of the aspects related to the construction of the historiographic stories, in which the architect in question is inscribed.
