Technique and project methods were based around a pedagogical and urban initiative that aimed to materialize a university center for the northwest region of the country.

El proyecto para la Ciudad Universitaria de Tucumán en la sierra de San Javier fue sede de un laboratorio de debate sobre temas emergentes en la arquitectura y el urbanismo en la Argentina tras la segunda guerra mundial. La técnica y los métodos proyectuales se nuclearon en torno a una iniciativa pedagógica y urbanística que se proponía materializar una ciudad modelo para alojar al mayor centro de enseñanza superior de la región noroeste del país. Con el fin de construir una respuesta concreta al desafío, fue convocada una agrupación heterogénea de expertos locales y extranjeros. Sin detenernos en posibles divergencias entre las visiones culturales dentro del equipo o en dificultades coyunturales político-económicas que pudieron motivar el destino inconcluso del proyecto, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar sus fundamentos conceptuales a partir de tres ejes –región, paisaje y organicismo– que facilitaron la circulación de ideas atravesando los discursos y prácticas de actores políticos, técnicos y culturales.
