I will guide you outside university!

I am very sad today as a result of reading some stuff about Brazilian architecture, specifically from my state, Minas Gerais. As it happens to be as far as I remember myself as student, the intellectual production concerning architectural subjects in Minas Gerais is pretty targeting commercial promotion, as it can be attested in a small research within internet. I get really upset by seeing some tutors of Federal University - who I thought were supposedly to not act as endorsing any commercial and particular intentions instead focusing on collectively important issues - being used.

My faith is always in the new generation of architects who should not be conduced through such guided and previously planned trip while discussing architecture, neither accepting as true any particular groups' ideas or reason that puts in a far and outside world subjects that should be discussed among them as university.

In the future I will express here clearer this point, using portuguese.
