Resumen

Este artículo se centra en mostrar las influencias foráneas presentes en los postulados de la houser Catherine Bauer (1905-1964) y cómo enriquecieron su discurso intelectual en el contexto de las redes internacionales del urbanismo y de la vivienda. Su nombre es sinónimo de vivienda social en Estados Unidos, pues dedicó toda su vida a institucionalizar las políticas públicas de vivienda a través del asesoramiento político, la acción propagandística y la praxis académica. Sus relaciones nos ayu-dan a comprender su adscripción a un determinado grupo o campo de ideas, lo que nos permite exa-minar la coherencia entre sus intenciones y sus acciones. Las reflexiones más destacadas de sus viajes transnacionales propiciaron que pasara de la consideración de la vivienda como un objeto arquitectó-nico a entenderse como un elemento aglutinador de la comunidad social en la década de 1930 y a una síntesis holística planteada como un proceso socioeconómico global a partir de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este discurso se vio bruscamente interrumpido con su fallecimiento en 1964.
