Abstract
The methodology of Social Network Analysis has received little attention in the fields of architecture and urban planning. This paper sets out to show through two case studies the use it might have in the establishment of new perspectives on the knowledge of the profession. Architects and urban planners’ careers, professional opportunities and life trajectories are dependent on the personal and job-related networks in which they live and work. Architects travelling and establishing themselves in colonial territories, and architects grouped in the oppositionist circles in the Portuguese dictatorship’s period of the 20th century, are the focus of the case studies presented.
