This article stems from the doctoral thesis Tres visitantes en París. Los colaboradores uruguayos de Le Corbusier; it was introduced in Madrid in 2013 and published in Montevideo in 2015. It is argued that Le Corbusier’s heritage was developed in Uruguay with an almost accidental series of events as its starting point. There was a shift from a theory based on the Beaux Arts tradition enriched by German contributions -especially to the field of urban planning- which prevailed until at least the 1940s in the post-war period to the dogmatic adaptation of the CIAM grille in which each one of the leading representatives gave raise to his own version. Everything was closed down by military authorities in 1973.
The account begins in 1951 with the Sephardic Synagogue commission in Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo, where all the Uruguayan collaborators of Le Corbusier joined efforts. This was the first and perhaps the only occasion in which they worked together. Their project has been discovered in 2013 after the presentation of the thesis.
