It is argued here that the process of professionalization in a national key is intimately associated with the centralized territorial control by the State that is consolidated after the last great civil war, in 1904. Likewise, both the architectural profession and the State are conceptualized as a process of continuous construction whose purpose is government (governmentality in Foucault's conception). In this sense, architecture offers the State a series of disciplinary tools that make up the sense of its professional jurisdiction and distinguish it from other knowledge and occupations. The realization of public hospitals in the interior of the republic in the first decades of the 20th century shows all these processes and even more: it shows that the profession system is not only regulated by the jurisdictional struggle, but also has a significant degree of complementarity. Indeed, medicine and architecture were part of an alliance that was built as part of the same governmentality process carried out by the National Public Assistance from 1910. En las primeras décadas de independencia del país, no existía la arquitectura como profesión moderna y sus saberes estaban dispersos en diversas ocupaciones y tradiciones. Se sostiene aquí que el proceso de profesionalización en clave nacional estuvo íntimamente asociado al control territorial centralizado por parte del Estado que se consolidó tras la última gran guerra civil, en 1904. Asimismo, se conceptualiza tanto a la profesión arquitectónica como al Estado como un proceso de construcción continuo que tiene como finalidad el gobierno (gubernamentalidad en la concepción de Foucault). En ese sentido, la arquitectura ofreció al Estado una serie de herramientas disciplinares que conformaron el sentido de su jurisdicción profesional y la distinguieron de otros saberes y ocupaciones. La realización de los hospitales públicos en el interior de la república en las primeras décadas del siglo XX muestra todos estos procesos y aún más: evidencia que el sistema de profesiones no solamente estaba regulado por la lucha jurisdiccional, sino que también poseía un importante grado de complementariedad. En efecto, medicina y arquitectura, fueron parte de una alianza que se construyó como parte del mismo proceso de gubernamentalidad llevado a cabo por la Asistencia Pública Nacional a partir de 1910.

| description |
In the first decades of the country's independence, architecture did not exist as a modern profession and its knowledge was dispersed in various occupations and traditions. It is argued here that the process of professionalization in a national key is intimately associated with the centralized territorial control by the State that is consolidated after the last great civil war, in 1904. Likewise, both the architectural profession and the State are conceptualized as a process of continuous construction whose purpose is government (governmentality in Foucault's conception). In this sense, architecture offers the State a series of disciplinary tools that make up the sense of its professional jurisdiction and distinguish it from other knowledge and occupations.
The realization of public hospitals in the interior of the republic in the first decades of the 20th century shows all these processes and even more: it shows that the profession system is not only regulated by the jurisdictional struggle, but also has a significant degree of complementarity. Indeed, medicine and architecture were part of an alliance that was built as part of the same governmentality process carried out by the National Public Assistance from 1910. |
