In this course we aim to learn from three distant and specific contexts. Three different contexts that have similarities, but also obvious singularities.
We will focus on projects built in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay between 1930 and 1970, and we will analyse their design and construction in relation to the contexts in which they are located.
All of them are examples that we visited last year with Master's students and which are characterised by their material honesty, pragmatism and contextualisation.
What were the geographical, climatic, economic, technological and cultural conditions like at the site of each work? Who were the authors, how did they work, what were their concerns?
Specifically:
For each project we will study its material strategy, its construction system, and we will make drawings of details and models about them.
We will also make an exhibition of plans, photos and models together with the Master's students who travelled and visited the buildings last spring.
