The current research studies the apartment building in the city of Fortaleza in the period between 1935, its genesis, and 1986, the beginning of the vertical integration. Aware that the architectural object is linked to cultural, social, economic and climate factors, and that the architect’s education has a important role in the interpretation of these determinants, the research focused in the analysis of these factors and of the built constructions. The relevance of this thesis is based on the importance of the apartment building in the urban area of Fortaleza in the contemporaneity, especially in the east area of the city where in some neighborhoods, represents almost 90% of the housing, and with a strong tendency to expansion. The work assumes that the study of the building’s transformation through time and space is crucial to formulate a critical foundation in order to contribute to the architect’s practice. It was identified four different periods: the antecedent, characterized as a long period with few representative buildings; the modern period, featured by the activity of the pioneer architects; the period characterized by the predominance of the buildings built on pilotis on a brutalism language; and the fourth period regarded as the beginning of the post-modernism with the construction of isolated towers. Finally, for each analyzed period it was identified the architecture’s transforming factors, the universal concepts and the local specificities. In conclusion, it was observed that the architect’s education was particularly important in the intermediations with the local agents and in the transformation of the apartment buildings.
