RESUMO

The object of this thesis is to describe, organize and analyze, from the historical and architectural viewpoints, a group of architectural works in Rio de Janeiro built by a single family, which - although landmarked in acknowledgment of their social cultural significance - had not yet been seen as making up a set, defined by their common eclectic affinities, the historical events that originated them and their relation to other contemporary architectural works. Emphasis is given to the period of urban reform during the Pereira Passos administration and the city s continuous expansion into the South Zone towards Copacabana Beach in the first two decades of the 20th century, which took place under the influence of the Guinles architectural verve. The research and the analysis attempt to order and call into question some of the data concerning Rio s eclectic architecture, to contribute to the identification and organization of facts and images that express this visual eclecticism, and to highlight the importance of the Guinle family in the making of the city s visuality.
