Abstract
This article offers a general overview of the Uruguayan Justino Serralta’s architectural production in his country, subsequent to his professional practice at Le Corbusier’s Parisian studio. This internship ended by developing a cosmic and philosophic system, with an intended universal nature: The Unitor. The text insinuates links between this production -material, and intellectual-, based on a brief journey through the contribution of Serralta to one of the most famous architecture workshops of its time; travel supported mostly by unpublished information compiled in the Fondation Le Corbusier - FLC. The article presents possible ways of deepening these links, either from the technical and compositional aspects (material inaugurated by Nudelman), or from the ideologies and imaginaries that underlie their plastic restlessness, their teaching activity, and their writings. This last aspect, truncated by the death of the architect, lacks a diligent study in the light of the Lecorbusierian universe, which this work sets out to summon.
