Abstract

This paper is part of a line of research exploring the link between architecture and philosophy during the period framed in Uruguay by the 1875 military uprising and the 1933 coup d’état. Within this framework, it approaches Carlos Vaz Ferreira´s project School Parks proposed in 1900 to subject it to a double analysis: the author´s socio-pedagogical ideology and its adopted versions after being taken by the architects of that time. It then bridges the Uruguayan philosopher’s intense crusade and the architectural culture of the time, focusing on a controversial challenge that affects the Carlos Real de Azua’s so-called «buffer society» of the time. In short, it tries to catch the mentioned project's theoretical clues and put them into action with the plural voice of architects.
