This work is part of the research carried out in the Heritage Group of the FAUD-UNMDP, with respect to the Preservation of the Architectural Heritage of Welfare and the Doctorate of Social Work. Two architectural works constructed by the Society of Charity in Argentina, located in the city of Mar del Plata, such as the “Solarium” (today demolished) and the current “Saturnino Unzué Institute” (formerly the the city, declared a National Monument) that were built at the beginning of the 20th century. These buildings are analyzed from the Foucaultian perspective of power, as “disciplinary devices” implanted within the city, with respect to the historical process of construction of the modern State.On the other hand, it is noteworthy that these works, beyond their architectural values, have a great “testimonial value” as historical documents in themselves, since they are spatial enclaves in which the passage of the different paradigms of assistance converge social throughout its history. For this study different documentary and bibliographical sources were taken, among them albums of the same Society of Beneficence, planimetry and historical photos, that allow to see these problems expressed in the history of its walls, its documents and regulations. Este trabajo se enmarca dentro avances de Investigaciones desarrolladas en el “Grupo Patrimonio” de la FAUD-UNMDP, respecto a la Preservación del Patrimonio Arquitectónico del Asistencialismo y del Doctorado de Trabajo Social. Se toman como caso de estudio dos obras arquitectónicas construidos por la Sociedad de Beneficencia en la Argentina, emplazadas en la ciudad de Mar del Plata, tales como el “Solarium” (hoy demolido) y el actual “Instituto Saturnino Unzué” (antiguo asilo de la ciudad, declarado Monumento Nacional) que se construyeron en las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Estos edificios se analizan desde la perspectiva foucaultiana de poder, como “dispositivos disciplinares” implantados dentro de la ciudad, respecto al proceso histórico de construcción del Estado moderno.Por otro lado, es de destacar que estas obras, más allá de sus valores arquitectónicos, poseen un gran “valor testimonial” como documentos históricos en sí mismas, ya que son enclaves espaciales en el que confluyen el pasaje de los diferentes paradigmas de la asistencia social a lo largo de su historia. Para este estudio se tomaron diferentes fuentes documentales y bibliográficas, entre ellas álbumes de la misma Sociedad de Beneficencia, planimetrías y fotos históricas, que permiten ver estas problemáticas plasmadas en la historia de sus muros, sus documentos y reglamentaciones.
