Abstract

GRUSCHETSKY, Valeria. An urban boundary landscape: General Paz Avenue´s project. An. Inst. Arte Am. Investig. Estét. Mario J. Buschiazzo [online]. 2011, vol.41, n.2, pp.155-165. ISSN 2362-2024.

This work analyzes the creation of the General Paz Avenue´s urban landscape as part of the material processes which transformed Buenos Aires in a modern city during the 30´s . As it is a public work that exceeded the Council´s power, was carried out by the state agency  in charge of national roads, due to the resources and the technical display that demanded, and also to its nature of physical boundary of the city.  Firstly the work´s magnitude allows to think about the roads as a urban and technical problem, that faced as much the professional knowledge as in the State´s action, and secondly, to recount of the aesthetic dimensions which integrated in the work´s design, lack of politics decisions which transformed the urban space.

Keywords : Urban landscape; Roads; Public policy; General Paz Avenue; Buenos Aires.
