The book "FPAA 100 years" enables the reading and actions of the past and present of our Federation. It is a document that reflects the history of architecture and its production from the FPAA in its centenary (1920-2020); it shows an institution concerned and occupied in making visible the good practices and the development of many actions that have positive results in our cities and our society.
Thanks to the compilation of texts written by Santiago Medero, Magdalena Fernández, Loreno Patiño, Ramón Gutiérrez, Roberto Fernández and Nivaldo Vieira de Andrade Junior, we were able to publish a document that allows us to rescue data and characteristics of our cities immersed in the vast territory of America.
