The objective of this research is to analyze the architectural contributions of Franz Heep in the post-war context during the development of the emerging metropolis of São Paulo which was financed by coffee production capital and also in part by foreign capital along with the contribution of immigrant architects between the period of 1945 and 1960. The motivation for this thesis is not to create a mere biographical piece, but to understand his particular architectural language and the relationship of his architectural pieces and the city. It also finds motivation in trying to understand the question of cultural transposition in which several cultural principals originated in Germany in the 20´s and in France in the 30´s had to adjust to be introduced into the Brazilian cultural context. To understand this transposition, much research was done in order to be able to distance the focus from Heep and try to understand the architectural scenery in Brazil at the time he was in the country, paying special attention to the cultural, economic and political dialogues between the respective spokesmen of the metropolis and the architect. The research analyzes the origins of Heep´s formation, his professional choices and his first office in partnership with Jean Ginsberg in Paris during 30´s, the contribution of immigrant architects as vectors of modernity for the real estate market, and Heep´s work with Jacques Pilon and his office from 1948 to 1952, where many buildings in the center of São Paulo were developed and, by consequence, a mark of excellence was established during the prelude of the real estate market during 1952 to 1960.
