Construction of Eladio Dieste’s Church of the Christ Worker in Estación Atlántida, (completed in 1960) showing the impossibly thin undulating brick walls and roof. It’s hard to fathom the design of this structural system by today’s standards; but the fact this was completed decades before computer programs, using masonry in ways that had never been done before, and constructed by local tradesmen in a small Uruguayan village is truly astounding.
