El propósito de este trabajo es analizar el rol que tuvieron los arquitectos en la construcción de la arquitectura pública en las reparticiones técnico-estatales desde finales del siglo XIX, siendo la Dirección General de Arquitectura del Ministerio de Obras Públicas un caso de singular interés. Desde su creación en 1906 hasta 1932, año en el que por primera vez un arquitecto, José Hortal, es nombrado director, la Dirección estuvo a cargo de notables ingenieros del campo institucional local. Sin embargo, encontramos otros personajes, cuya formación media entre el arte y la técnica, encargados de proyectar la arquitectura pública. Si bien en este proceso se reconocen actores sociales e instituciones de diversa procedencia, nos interesa analizar las redes de intercambio producidas entre las instituciones dependientes del reciente Estado federalizado: la Universidad de Buenos Aires y el Ministerio de Obras públicas. Partimos del supuesto que la construcción de las sedes institucionales del Estado supuso superar las ideas de racionalidad y economía de los saberes técnico-científicos decimonónicos, insuficientes para la expresión simbólica de la arquitectura estatal. En esta dirección, la adopción en el campo institucional local del modelo beaux-arts aportó las herramientas para la discusión teórica y proyectual en busca de expresar el carácter público y nacional de la arquitectura del naciente Estado moderno.
