RESUMO

This research studies the presence of wall tile in brazilian architecture from a historical point of view and its productive process, granting special attention to Athos Bulcão wall tiles work. The use of wall tiles as a covering material goes back to the origins of brazilian architecture. Strong feature of portuguese architecture inheritance in Brazil, usual in colonial buildings, the use of wall tile recovered at the begin of 20th century with the creation of an authentic brazilian architecture with a strong national character, from the neo colonial style to the modern movement. Athos Bulcão’s work begins with this restart and move forward to the development of geometric abstract forms, bringing wall tiles back as a protagonist in architecture.
