Through the review of an immediate antecedent, an exposition of the Ministry of Public Works in 1914 published in the Revista de la Asociación Politécnica del Uruguay, the work reflects on the Uruguayan shipment to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915, held at the city of San Francisco, in the United States. The buildings, represented through photographs and graphics, not only showed a desired modern Uruguay - highly literate, equipped and progressive - but also a conception of the architecture and construction of its capital, Montevideo, indebted to the concept of «monumentality». Under this conception, creator of «lay temples», architectural institutions and high politics found a common fund to operate. El artículo propone adentrarnos, a través de un caso particular, en la problemática de la representación del Estado a través de la arquitectura a comienzos del siglo XX, cuando las bases del Uruguay moderno aún se encontraban en construcción. Mediante la revisión de un antecedente inmediato, una exposición del Ministerio de Obras Públicas en 1914 publicada en la Revista de la Asociación Politécnica del Uruguay, se reflexiona sobre el envío uruguayo a la Panama-Pacific International Exposition de 1915, celebrada en la ciudad de San Francisco, en Estados Unidos. Los edificios, representados a través de fotografías y gráficos, no solamente mostraban a un deseado Uruguay moderno -altamente alfabetizado, equipado y progresista- sino también una concepción de la arquitectura y de la construcción de su capital, Montevideo, deudora del concepto de «monumentalidad». Bajo esta concepción, creadora de «templos laicos», las instituciones arquitectónicas y la alta política encontraron un fondo común para operar.
