Abstract
The contribution presents the analysis of four models of morphological and figurative analysis of evolutionary approach. From the following summary, a methodological model of analysis of Oscar Niemeyer’s work is presented, which, due to its duration and figurative characteristics, is particularly suitable for a type of analysis of this kind. Two of the edified “graphemes” will also be presented, with the tables elaborated by the author.
