Abstract

The article aims to analyze the participation of Alexandre Albuquerque (1880-1940) on the debates about the professional regulation of architects in Brazil. From the construction of a mythology around the architect-engineer, originating in his speech as speaker of the graduating class at the Polytechnic School in 1905, his protagonism in unifying the interests of his professional class is constantly reiterated. Thus, this paper intends to analyze the context of production and transmition of the 1905 speech, in order to understand the distance between your formulation, your insertion in the debate about professional regulation and your conversion into mythology.
