Sao objetivos da pesquisa contribuir para a compreensao do episodio de sua contratacao pela Diretoria de Obras Municipais, esclarecendo as condicoes e repercussoes de sua visita ao Brasil, a partir da experiencia projetual em um meio diverso e distante de seu pais de origem, a Franca. Pretende-se, ainda, esclarecer as razoes das diferencas observadas entre suas propostas bonaerense e paulistana, bem como as elucidar as condicoes que presidiram a criacao da City of San Paulo Improvements. Para a consecucao dos objetivos procedeu- se a confrontacao de varias series documentais, depositadas em diferentes acervos, alem do exame acurado do material grafico relativo ao plano e aos primeiros projetos da companhia imobiliaria, visando a verificacao de seu posicionamento teorico, as bases em que se efetuou a sua contratacao, incluindo os fatos que a antecederam e seu modus operandi, isto e, a maneira como desenvolvia seus projetos. A pesquisa propoe-se a esclarecer e dimensionar o papel de Bouvard na organizacao da City of San Paulo Improvements, que se deu em paralelo ao desenvolvimento do Plano para Sao Paulo. Ainda foi possivel avaliar o quanto os modelos culturais importados pesaram nos projetos desenvolvidos em Sao Paulo, em ambas as esferas, notadamente advindos da Franca, a partir das reformas empreendidas pelo Barao Haussmann e Inglaterra, pelo ideario cidade- jardim. A principal hipotese de trabalho parte da premissa que Bouvard ja detinha um conhecimento previo do contexto brasileiro e para ca se dirige, apos aposentar-se do servico publico frances, afim de prospectar negocios. O recorte cronologico da investigacao corresponde a vida profissional de Bouvard, desenvolvida entre 1964 e 1920. Do ponto de vista espacial, a pesquisa estende-se, na Europa, pela Franca, Belgica, Turquia e, na America do Sul, Argentina, Uruguai e Brasil.

It focuses in the dual role played by Bouvard in Sao Paulo, where he developed, in the public sphere, the so called Bouvard Plan for Sao Paulo whilw, in private, he led the creation of the City of San Paulo Improvements and Freehold Land Co. Ltd. The research intends to contribute to the understanding of the episode of his hiring by the Directorate of Municipal Works, explaining the conditions and consequences of his visit to Brazil, an experience in a diverse environment and so far from his country of origin, France. It is intended also to clarify the reasons for the differences observed between the Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo proposals, as well as clarifying the conditions, which led to the creation of the City of San Paulo Improvements. To achieve the goals we proceeded to the confrontation of several documentary series, stored in different collections, in addition to a thorough examination of graphic material relating to the plan and first projects of the real estate company, in order to check its theoretical position, the basis on which it made its hiring, including the events leading up to it and its modus operandi, that is, how developed their projects. The research aims to clarify the role and scale of Bouvard in the organization of the City of San Paulo Improvements, which took place in parallel to the development of the Plan for Sao Paulo. It was also possible to assess the extent to which imported cultural models weighed in projects developed in Sao Paulo, in both spheres, arising notably from France, from the reforms undertaken by Baron Haussmann and England, the ideas garden city. The main working hypothesis assumes that Bouvard already had prior knowledge of the Brazilian context and forth goes after retiring from the French public service, in order to prospect business. The chronological outline of the research corresponds to the professional life of Bouvard, developed between 1964 and 1920. From the spatial point of view, the research extends from Europe - France, Belgium, Turkey, to South America mainly Argentina and Brazil.
