The hands behind the work. Stories and reflections from an architect on the construction site

After exploring the relationship between architects and clients through the lens of psychoanalysis in Arquitetura no divã, Shirlei Zonis employs the same framework to address an even more sensitive issue: the bond with construction site workers. Although this subject is absent from architecture curricula, it remains a defining aspect of daily practice. Drawing on her field experience and a psychoanalytic perspective, the author shares the stories of these essential—yet often overlooked—partners, highlighting the challenges of this professional encounter and the cultural impasses that affect a group so emblematic of Brazilian society and its inherent inequalities.
