| Sumario: | The very nature of armed conflicts makes its effects extend to more territories than those directly involved in the conflict. Thus, World War II impacted material, social and political level throughout Europe and other countries. In Argentina they have been studied economic, political and social phenomena resulting from what happened during the war but so far there was no news of the existence of architectural installations whose presence could be seen as local adaptation of a project originated in Germany. The work done at Teyú Cuaré site (San Ignacio, Misiones) allowed us to propose that those stone structures were built by the mid-1940s using local resources and materials but following a German design. The study revealed some singularities in the context of the region as well as novel architectural development with several functions. Material evidence associated to the structures reaffrmed the proposed relationship between the place and foreign resources by including a variety of rare elements in sites of mid-twentieth century in our country and whose origin can be traced to the territorythen controlled by the Third Reich. |
