Abstract

Representative of the earlier generations of architects graduated at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Sao Paulo, Odiléa Helena Setti Toscano (1934-2015) was also a professor at the FAUUSP between the mid-1970s and the late 1990s, by integrating the Visual Programming teaching group. With a refined aesthetic sense and an unmistakable trait of delicacy, Odiléa had a remarkable performance as a graphic artist, still little known. She produced drawings, serigraphs, book covers, illustrations for newspapers and magazines, and she also projected panels for private and public architectural spaces. Her most popular works are the murals that she created for several stations of the São Paulo Metro. The objective of this paper is to present an overview of her biography and her professional, academic and teaching trajectories, in order to collaborate with the recording and disclosure of the work of this architect who offered great contribution to the field of visual design. This article also aims to honor the pioneering work of the architect.
