El habitar en altura en la Córdoba moderna del siglo XX

This paper reflects on collective residential typologies created during the first decades of the 20th century in Argentina, particularly in Cordoba city, on the basis of transculturation processes of the Modern Movement’ European models. After approaching the ontological meaning of inhabiting, the tall dwelling is sorted into time and space classifications where the Latin American anthropological and geographic component is accentuated as a particular interest. The built proposals reflect how the searches either adapt themselves to universal models or generate own works which are given a singular and regional character amidst a modernization phenomenon defined by new lifestyles, urban culture and conditions to inhabit.
