The present thesis examines the works carried out by the architects Saul Macchiavello and Antonio Maria Rubio, between the years 1928 and 1938, in the city of Porto Alegre. The buildings produced by these professionals belong to the beginning of modern architecture, a period in which the gradual abandonment of the running of historicism occurs, prevalent since the late nineteenth century. The renewal process began in the early years of the twentieth century, period in which the aesthetics of the machine in the Western world emerged. This aesthetic has adopted a standard of formal as well as decorative simplification, directed to the rationalization of built space, suitable to the industrial society. The complex system resulting from this process led to the reformulation of architectural spaces and a new formal concept whose image was identified with the avantgarde aesthetic and Art Deco architecture, contributing to the emergence of a new way of living as well as a new lifestyle in Porto Alegre in the 1930’s.
