| Summary: | In the mid-1930s, YPF and the ACA forged a partnership that is still active today. The developed plan included the construction of gas stations and social centers for the Automobile Club. Its fulfillment took over a decade and involved a highly complex level of organization due to the diversity of the program and the extent of the network. By examining the different territorial, architectural and institutional aspects involved we explain how the architectural production of the ACA was conceived, starting out from an innovative functional program. Our analysis reflects the constantly changing mindset of the time, which swung between the urge to express a modern image and the desire to reveal an identity associated with the vernacular culture. In the works executed between 1935 and 1946, we verify the way power was represented through the modernist expression of architecture in order to highlight, amongst other things, institutional efficiency and effectiveness. |
