This book aims to provide a better knowledge of the most recognized projects of modernist and visionary architect Amancio Williams (Argentina 1913-1989) through analytical-critical texts on the profuse materials of the Williams Archive (composed of plans, models and annotations that make up a monumental and valuable collection, since 2020 in the custody of the Centre Canadien d'Architecture (CCA) in Canada) and with research on the concept of architectural drawing, as a modern and avant-garde method in which he concretized his project ideas (aesthetic, technological, functional, compositional, etc.). Williams was one of Argentina's leading exponents of modern architecture who worked with noted Swiss architect Le Corbusier as supervisor in the construction for the Curutchet House, a residence designed in 1949 for Dr. Pedro Curutchet, a prominent La Plata physician.
