Abstract

GARRETA, Virginia. A Frenchman in the Cordoba mountains: re-readings and new approaches to Leon Dourge's “mountain houses”. An. Inst. Arte Am. Investig. Estét. Mario J. Buschiazzo [online]. 2021, vol.51, n.2, pp.1-15. ISSN 2362-2024.

This work will delve into the analysis of the series “mountain houses” built by the French architect León Dourge in the Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina, between 1920 and 1930. It will investigate the links with the Andalusian artistic language in a provincial territoriality, the otherness of the author and his transnational character. It will be based on the analysis of a documentary heritage of unpublished character, which can be contrasted with the work built in a peripheral area, establishing a contribution to the construction of a History of Architecture, urban imaginaries and ways of living in Argentina considering the multicultural character of the parts and the work in question.

Keywords : Leon Dourge; Andalusian architecture; inhabit; imaginary; Argentina; first half of XXth Century.
