The unknown work of a Uruguayan architect: Otilia Muras
Otilia Muras was an architect, designer, teacher, and researcher. She practiced the liberal profession with Héctor Giraldi — her husband and partner — with whom she designed, directed, and managed tens of architectural works and pieces of furniture in Uruguay. She was a teacher and researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and one of the first directors of the Institute of Architectural History (IHA, for its Spanish initials). She had an active university participation, was a prominent academic community member and the author of various research works. This text is presented as a biographical review and addresses some aspects of the architect's work with the aim of spreading, problematizing, and valuing her contributions in various areas of the discipline. This first approach aims at the rescue of a legacy of great academic and professional interest. Muras's work contributed to the institutional construction of the faculty, from the startup of the IHA to the pursuit of standards and rigor of scientific research. Likewise, the unknown work of the Muras-Giraldi studio constitutes a high-quality production gift to the city, which reflects ethical commitment and vital dedication to the architectural thought.
