Our work explores the characteristics of the original project Complejo Punta Mogotes in Mar del Plata, inscribed in systems architecture, a design that was very important, in our country, in the sixties and seventies. The project was characterized by introducing systemic strategy at all scales. First term in the territorial and urban spas, structuring the system from the new highway waterfront. At the architectural level, using a linear array of units conceptualized as spa-type spaces and connected by a promenade street. Systemic strategy will be present also in the technological resolution from a structural framework and constructive and industrial components. In the sixties the system architecture was frequently associated utopian attitude and, saying from Marina Waisman, an unconformist professional development, for which project was a critical act. In Punta Mogotes a series of productive and political conditions broke up the original proposal, losing their best organizational and landscape attributes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The functional, stylistics and landscapes characteristics refer to the study of architectural, politics and cultural dimensions in those years. The previous experience of the architect in the urban scenery and the installations in public spaces designed to popular events is very important. The organization of activities in space refers to demand a prominent international event. The esthetic characteristics of the amphitheater and the scenery -with expressionist features- are related to the scale of the landscape of the Bristol Bay and the relevance of the abstract esthetic in the discourses of modern architecture. The hypothesis of work refers that these spectacular and ephemeral installations are an example of the growing process of appropriation popular of the health resort in Mar del Plata and the development of mass tourism in the next years.
