TRIBUTE TO MR. ELADIO DIESTE1
Acad. Mr. Alberto Ponce Delgado
Dean of the Faculty of Engineering
Professor Bridges
I have conferred the honor at this event to make a
semblance of Mr. Eladio Dieste.
Artigas was born in the December 1, 1917. He graduated
School of Engineering
University of the Republic in 1943. He is married co
n Elizabeth Friedheim and father of 11
children.
It is said that behind every great man is a great m
emale and we believe that this tribute
the University of Montevideo wants to do the In
g. Dieste, is extended to his wife,
mentioning it as a safe family support and recal
camos his eleven children, because this is a
reaffirmation of the value of family, and the grace of God
God to obtain it.
Mr. Eladio Dieste has a personality that is
engrossed in their work. It is solid, safe and
friendly conversation with him. You feel like ilu
minándose on what life is created, is
understand the essence of things.
In particular the technical things, but not limited
there the rich experience of your relationship. Its
conversation or explanation of their structures will
n beyond the technical. They through their
work to the spiritual, the transcendent.
And that's what it feels like inside the church of S.
sia of Atlantis, where there is a communication
shapes, lights, all materials used in p
erfecta harmony. These characteristics are repeated
in all their works, even those that do not grow in
a religious environment, because that character is
due to the conception of the work and not your destination.
Love with what the ceramic as a material, l
or feel and what looks to pull it all
essential that this analysis can give. And that creates
constructive procedures ingeniously
technical but also of great courage to extrapol
ar to what others have done. And projected
on long-span structures for
more varied uses.
But true to his early works, the main highlight and
s in the structural design of churches.
Projects then to many forms other igl
Church ESIAs as Peach, so different
that of Atlantis but with that unmistakable
Dieste and harmony and lifting
religious.
