THE MODERN CITY FACING THE FUTURE
Anna Beatriz Galvão (Coord.), Alejandra H. Muñoz, Hugo Segawa, Mirthes Baffi, Marina B. Donelli
 

DOCOMOMO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, 6, 2000, Brasilia. Proceedings… Salvador: Universidade Federal da Bahia; Brasília: Universidade de Brasília, [2004].356 p. ilus.
 
The aim of this publication is to publish all the papers and lectures presented during the conference. Strangely enough, one year after the event, long after its executive office was closed, we had received less than 30% of the papers, which prevented us from obtaining the funding required to publish them in good time. […]
 
The publication's structure follows the order of the conference's program. The complete papers have been revised and/or expanded by their authors, including added illustrations and captions. The solution devised of unsubmitted papers was to publish their abstracts (in italics), which we received prior to the conference.
