This dissertation deals with artistic handiwork, particularly of a craft working group, on aesthetic, compositional, and constructive aspects. The main objective was to incorporate formal improvements in handcrafted pieces by reading graphic means, based on visual language theories, perception, form, construction systems and historical contributions coming from the architectural modernist movement. The work is divided into six chapters. After the introduction, come the theoretical framework, the working group, the pieces analysis and the conclusion. The methodology was essentially qualitative and exploratory, with resources of action research. Workshops were held with the artisans, led by the researcher instructor. It was fabricated bamboo pieces that mirrored the formal architectural interpretation of the participants. In the text, the pieces comparative analysis considered the sharing between the architect academic knowledge and the working group Cia do Bambu experiences. The final considerations pointed out to an apprehension of architectural concepts notions related to proportion, visual language, piece structure, imaginary expansion, and novelties incorporations. The rigid models, "just like Egyptian art," were abandoned and replaced by created, discussed and projected prototypes, especially in situations to answer external work demands. It was reinforced the beauty ideals cultivated by the Greek art. The conception acts and the structural functioning mechanisms of the handcrafted pieces suggested characteristics of modern architecture movement. In consequence, the working group Cia do Bambu seized their imagination potentialities, their knowledge and expertise acquired to create new pieces.
