| Sumario: | This article proposes an interpretation that refutes the simplification or logical heritage approach which deals with the path that goes from the savoir faire of the Beaux Arts architects to the subsequent tuition of the International Style. The buildings that Corina Kavanagh or her brother Diego –together with her partner Pablo Cárdenas Jr- commissioned to Sánchez, Lagos y de la Torre between 1934 and 1936 merged the program of luxury apartments for rent with modern architecture. This not frequent feature -which should not be taken for grantedprovides the case studies. Among them, the Kavanagh Building embodied the uttermost example of a developers’ investment modality which characterized a brief cycle that continued until 1936. Three of the cases addressed –which were commissioned as apartment buildings for rent- introduced solutions based on a pragmatic and innovative decision making as regards city corner spots that entailed important consequences for composition, visual perception and the interior layout of buildings. |
