Summary

Architect Cecilia Durán addresses in her book a trend of modernizing public architecture that was built in Argentina during the 1930s and early 1940s. These constructions had to materialize new formal, programmatic, and technical requirements arising with the modernization of the State and the discipline itself. At the same time, they responded to demands for symbolic representation to stage the civic dimension sought to communicate the institutions and agencies promoting the works. Those expressive needs were met using a renewed decorative apparatus that was set into murals, sculptures and reliefs, transforming buildings into objects of public art.
