Abstract

ALVITE, Silvia. Enrico Tedeschi s photographic criticism on Latin American landscape architecture. An. Inst. Arte Am. Investig. Estét. Mario J. Buschiazzo [online]. 2015, vol.45, n.1, pp.73-86. ISSN 2362-2024.

In 1949, professor Enrico Tedeschi coordinates a trip to Cuzco with architecture students from Universidad Nacional de Tucumán. After a second visit to the place a few years later, in 1961 a book in album format is published containing planimetric and photographic records. The most interesting contribution of this work consists on the critical vision presented; both the text and the photographic series concentrate on the observation of the unitarian character of the Plaza, considered as a whole monument and in its relation with the natural landscape. Photography, as a methodological critique tool, tells us about that continuity between nature, the city, and the Plaza by means of framing, overlapping objects and textures in depth, scale contrasts, and multiple points of view. The purpose of this article is to describe the ways in which this publication develops a theoretical and methodological program supported by the concept of landscape.

Keywords : photography; architecture; landscape; Cuzco; Tedeschi.
