Abstract
rationalism, geometric abstraction, purism of forms, functionalism, etc. These concepts are considered to representthe architectural production, thus neglecting the fundamental importance of emotion and intuition in the processof architectural composition. Without doubt, this is the result of the predominant line in European modernist historiography,which avoided or minimized the role of the senses and of intuition when new spaces and materials werebeing proposed.The direct influence of persons such as Eugenio Steinhof, Dutch and German expressionism and (in a less directway) the works of F. L. Wright, which were known through publications such as Wendingen -that represented theexpressionist movements- urges reflections from an alternative point of view. It is necessary to consider the searchfor new spaces, new forms and new materials that comes forth with the modernist´s intellectual development inLatin America and specifically in Uruguay.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
