| Sumario: | Victoria Ocampo is central to thinking about the Argentine culture of the 20th century and yet, this did not prevent the invisibility of her role in the development of modern architecture in Argentina. That is, in the historiography of architecture, it is not easy to find that she built two of the first rationalist houses in Latin America –in 1927, in Mar del Plata, and in 1928, in Buenos Aires–; or that since the beginning of the magazine Sur de ella, she published articles by Walter Gropius and Alberto Prebisch. On the contrary, there is a tendency to disqualify it. For example, Bustillo himself refers to Ocampo as “a flirt who always got her way. This house looks like a maquette with giraffes, for that reason I did not sign it "and Ramón Gutiérrez also operates like this when talking about the project that Ocampo requests from Le Corbusier, calling it a" fickle client ". |
