Abstract

CARIDE BARTRONS, Horacio. Olivier Reboursin. An. Inst. Arte Am. Investig. Estét. Mario J. Buschiazzo [online]. 2019, vol.49, n.1, pp.59-75. ISSN 2362-2024.

This text is about part of the life and work of Olivier Reboursin, an Argentinian builder architect from French ancestry, who worked in Buenos Aires during the first half of the 20th century. Through the recovery of his career and the analysis of some of his buildings, the intention is to review the problems faced by argentinian professionals in an architectural design transitional period between academic systems and modern requirements. Reboursin was a builder architect, but also an essayist and a poet. His unique personal history could be representative of those professionals from immigrant families, the first generation born in the country and without academic education, to whom they are due, for different reasons, the construction and consolidation of certain urban landscape in our cities.

Keywords : Olivier Reboursin; architecture; professional field; biography.
