Through a comparative-historical investigation, the contribution identifies the common features of rural colonisation projects in Italy and Argentina around 1930s. Although the rural world might be considered an elusive context for architecture, it is the variety of examples in distant geographical and socio-economic contexts that provides insights about the exchanges of modern movement. The selected case studies are the Pontine Plain (Rome,1926-1943) and the plan for Colonia Balcarce (Buenos Aires,1936). These examples of rural planning share common modernist features: multi-scalar approach, a capillary presence of infrastructure, the hierarchical organization of settlements, and a functional organization of space. Evidences of the formal organization of territory and settlements indicate the exchange of expertise between the two countries. In quantitative and dimensional terms, these examples give evidence to the importance of the rural territory in the field of modern planning activity that unrolled in the first decades of the 20th century.

Abstract
Through a comparative-historical investigation, the contribution identifies the common features of rural colonisation projects in Italy and Argentina around 1930s. Although the rural world might be considered an elusive context for architecture, it is the variety of examples in distant geographical and socio-economic contexts that provides insights about the exchanges of modern movement. The selected case studies are the Pontine Plain (Rome,1926-1943) and the plan for Colonia Balcarce (Buenos Aires,1936). These examples of rural planning share common modernist features: multi-scalar approach, a capillary presence of infrastructure, the hierarchical organization of settlements, and a functional organization of space. Evidences of the formal organization of territory and settlements indicate the exchange of expertise between the two countries. In quantitative and dimensional terms, these examples give evidence to the importance of the rural territory in the field of modern planning activity that unrolled in the first decades of the 20th century.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
