Sumario: | The drama revealed by the end of the Second War, forced the reintroduction of the debate on architectural form, beyond a limited dispassionate and rational fiction of function. When function ceased to be the unitary pattern against which to compare modern buildings, critics and historians had to have new mirrors: monumentality, the production process, the user, the city, the form, the genius loci, the History, tradition or culture. In the following article the formulation of architectural images as catalysts of the concept of purpose in public architecture will be verified, as it was presented around the contest for the ultimate headquarters of the National Library in Buenos Aires in 1962, in whose architecture a feature of a manifest, redundant and dramatic character was superimposed by form to an efficient scheme and profitable organization. |
