This work acknowledges that in France itself there were different approaches to architecture which were proposed by different schools, and it leads to focus on the culture of civil engineers from the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures de Paris.

La incidencia de la tradición francesa en la formación de los arquitectos en la Argentina de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX es estudiada mayormente desde la perspectiva del sistema Beaux-Arts y desde los sucesivos intentos por separarse de la ingeniería tanto a nivel académico como profesional. Este trabajo reconoce que en Francia misma había distintos abordajes de la arquitectura, propuestos por diversas escuelas, e invita a enfocarse precisamente en la cultura de los ingenieros civiles de la École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures de París. Se busca examinar la trayectoria escolar de un argentino centralien, Carlos Agote (1866-1950), y su carrera en Buenos Aires, ligada a una red de contactos con exalumnos a ambos lados del Atlántico. Especializado como constructeur, Agote se ubica en el cruce de saberes y prácticas diferentes y facilita inéditas colaboraciones entre actores diversos: arquitectos Beaux-Arts, constructores, empresarios, fabricantes. Siguiendo métodos y conceptos de la historia de las técnicas, se propone indagar estos intercambios apoyándose en el fondo documental de la École Centrale y en archivos de empresas.
