Abstract

This article discusses the travel blocks made by Lucio
Costa during his stay in Portugal in 1952 and emphasizes
the importance of sketching as a tool for knowledge of
architecture and therefore of design. It was fundamental
to him, to know Portugal in order to understand the Brazilian
architecture. The interest to know the Portuguese architecture
in its original place motivated Lucio Costa to undertake
two trips of studies by Portugal. The first occurred in the
year 1948, of which only one report remained and the
second, 304 drawings distributed in 5 blocks and 2 separate
sheets.
