Richard Joseph Neutra (1892-1970), Austrian architect settled in the United States, left, throughout his professional life, an important legacy that is revealed both by the numerous works constructed and the academic contribution. The interest he showed to better understand the climatic and social conditions of the places marked his acting projects, and it has been crucial, especially for the variety producing projects such as schools, housing and hospitals developed in Puerto Rico - when he was appointment as consultant at the Committee on Design of Public Works by the US State Department. His work as an architect and studious has influenced new generations of architects, especially Brazilians. Much is known about the importance of his works, but little is said about his close relationship with Brazil. A fact confirmed by the publication, in Sao Paulo, of the book Architecture of Social Concern in Regions of Mild Climate, bilingual edition (English and Portuguese), by Gerth Todtman (1948). Thus, this research presents itself as a way of mapping the presence of architect Richard Neutra in Brazil. It was from the analysis of primary documents that the close relationship with Brazilian architects and intellectuals was confirmed.
