This article aimed to identify, in the records of the historical collections of Itajaí (SC), the hotel buildings that served this city in the nineteenth century. It also studies the material found, in order to identify the application of the concepts of hospitality. The qualitative method guided the exploratory incursions into documents and bibliographies, as well as the analyses. The results show that there are few records on hotels. The material found on the Hotel Brazil allowed us to analyze questions related to hospitality, including its architectural design, elements with high potential for tourist attractiveness. The other hotels were identified through newspaper headlines in which some concepts of hospitality were addressed, as well as information about attitudes to sanitation and hygiene.

The Actor-Network Theory (ANT) was developed by sociology studies of science and technology and has been applied to other fields, such as architecture. However, there are still difficulties in understanding and implementing of the concepts proposed, mainly because of its innovative character. Thus, this article reflects on the architectural project, especially concerning design, proposing an approach from the notions of the theory. Considering the design process features extracted from architectural research literature, we propose to consider the project as a collective construction, where human and non-human actively articulate, being both problem and solution. In this case, the architect is an “network-author”, because the project authorship is more linked to the translation capacity of the architect than to the object design itself, recognizing the agency of other actors. About the process, the proposal is to be aware of the actions that occur in practice, watching the strategies used to incorporate requirements, translations carried out by the architect. It is about looking less for the product and more for its construction. What considers also the building as a moving project, a continuous stream of changes.

Este artigo trata de um modelo de memorial justificativo que poderá servir de referência para auxiliar os alunos de arquitetura a descreverem e justificarem, de maneira sistemática, as razões para as decisões tomadas e que resultaram em uma solução arquitetônica. Servir de ferramenta complementar no ensino e aprendizagem do processo de projeto nas disciplinas de projeto de arquitetura. A linha de pensamento que orientou o desenvolvimento do memorial teve como base teórica o método desenvolvido por Neves e para a adoção do partido na arquitetura e conceitos abordados por Mahfuz, relacionados ao processo projetual.
