Sumario:The "Burgos’house", located in San Rafael (Mendoza), whose construction began in 1916 and was completely finished in 1929, constitutes an excellent example to reflect on the interaction between, or the passage from "the literary immaterial to the architectural monument". Such is the title that Amanda Salvioni gave to her study on the "Ricardo Rojas" house-museum and it is also appropriate to refer to the house of the Tucumán writer based in Mendoza, who kept a friendship with Rojas for long, based on similar interests and conceptions on identity, shown in their literary works, but also in the design of their respective dwellings: an architectural project that responded to an aesthetic program of reinvention of the national tradition, starting from the fusion of the hispanic and the indigenous, along with which adds –in the case of Burgos- the key immigration contribution in San Rafael in the first decades of the 20th century. Thus, tangible and intangible heritage are mutually supported and explained and the materiality of the construction allows a semiotic reading that also interprets it as a form of communication.
