Throughout the early twentieth century, waves of migration brought working-class people to the outskirts of Buenos Aires. This prompted a dilemma: Where should these restive populations be situated relative to the city’s spatial politics? Might housing serve as a tool to discipline their behavior?

Enter Antonio Bonet, a Catalan architect inspired by the transatlantic modernist and surrealist movements. Ana María León follows Bonets decades-long, state-backed quest to house Buenos Airess diverse and fractious population. Working with totalitarian and populist regimes, Bonet developed three large-scale housing plans, each scuttled as a new government took over. Yet these incomplete plans—Bonets dreams—teach us much about the relationship between modernism and state power.

Modernity for the Masses finds in Bonets projects the disconnect between modern architecture’s discourse of emancipation and the reality of its rationalizing control. Although he and his patrons constantly glorified the people and depicted them in housing plans, Bonet never consulted them. Instead he succumbed to official and elite fears of the peoples latent political power. In careful readings of Bonets work, León discovers the progressive erasure of surrealisms psychological sensitivity, replaced with an impulse, realized in modernist design, to contain the increasingly empowered population.
