Abstract

El artículo analiza la “campaña por el mejoramiento de la vivienda campesina”, puesta en marcha por el Instituto de Crédito Territorial durante la República Liberal (1930-1946). En contraste con las narrativas tradicionales sobre la arquitectura moderna en Colombia, que ignoran los experimentos en arquitectura rural o los consideran parte de una prehistoria, aquí se muestra que la vivienda campesina influyó en el posterior desarrollo de la vivienda social moderna. El artículo argumenta que la campaña de vivienda rural era un elemento central de una noción de lo moderno en Colombia, que se basaba en el próspero mediano propietario campesino.

Alternate abstract:

The article analyzes a “campaign to improve rural housing” advanced by the Instituto de Crédito Territorial during the Liberal Republic (1930-1946). Traditional narratives about modern architecture in Colombia have ignored experiments in rural architecture or considered them part of its pre-history. In contrast, the article shows that rural housing was in fact influential in the later development of modern housing for low-income sectors. The article argues that the rural housing campaign was a central element in a conceptualization about what was modern in Colombia, which was based on the ideal of the prosperous medium rural property owner.
