A journey from the nameless city to the symbolic source. The city cartographies of Constructive Universalism in Uruguay (1930-1950)
An imaginary journey begins from the manuscript book “La ciudad sin nombre” by Joaquín Torres García, published in Montevideo in 1941, and the text is analyzed focusing on the city cartographies that emerge from it. The words and paragraphs, as well as the fragments of the city drawn in the book, exhibit an atomized world, whose unitary reading is only possible through a fragmented and juxtaposed vision. The constructivist temporality, the spatiality and geometry, the urban micro-landscapes of the port and the bar are analyzed; the nocturnal environment and the human landscape of the city. The trip ends at the symbolic fountain or Cosmic Monument, built in the Parque Rodo of the city of Montevideo and drawn on the final page of the manuscript book. Reflections are established on its materiality and location, as well as its symbolic condition. Finally, reference is made to the Latin American cultural context in the 40s, stopping in Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela. Events clash with the evolution of architecture and art in a system of relationships that helps to tell the context of this imaginary trip.
