Resumen
Descripción
Al estudiar la fábrica de tierra romana de Tomas Fuhr en Remanso Valerio (1873-78) atribuimos su
fracaso a los intereses asociados al cemento importado. La observación reiterada de las numerosas
demoliciones realizadas en los últimos años en el centro de Rosario (y en otras localidades como
Venado Tuerto y Lujan) nos han llevado a concluir que el fracaso de este y otros intentos como el de
la Primera Argentina de Bialet Massé se debió no sólo a la competencia del cemento europeo sino
también a la falta de una práctica concreta de construcción con argamasas o mezclas cementicias fuera de la obra pública y la religiosa. La experiencia de la ciudad de Rosario que creció prácticamente
después de Caseros y que no nos ha dejado muestras de construcción en adobe, nos ha llevado a concluir que el mortero de barro para asentar ladrillos cocidos era de uso generalizado a fines del siglo
XIX e incluso a comienzos del XX, subsistiendo, al menos en la confección de medianeras, paredes
no portantes y tapiales y en la construcción suburbana, hasta la segunda o tercer década del mismo, al
punto de ser considerada en los primeros Reglamentos de Edificación desde 1890.
By studying the cement factory of Tomas Fuhr in Remanso Valerio (1873-1878) we attribute their failure to the associated interests on imported cement. The repeated observation of many demolitions carried out in recent years in central Rosario (and other locations as Venado Tuerto and Lujan) have led us to conclude that the failure of this and other attempts such as the Argentina Primera Bialet Massé it was due not only to the competence of the European cement but also to the lack of a concrete construction practice with mortars or cementitious mixtures out of public and religious work. The experience of the city of Rosario which grew almost after Caseros and has not left us samples of adobe construction has led us to conclude that the mud mortar to lay burnt brick was widely used in the late nineteenth century and even early twentieth, subsisting, at least in making walls, non-bearing walls and mud walls and suburban construction until the second or third decade of it, to the point of being considered in the first building regulations since 1890.
