Likewise, it protects and share technical file whose management has been developed by the company Dieste & Montañez. There are numerous examples, plans, calculations and images of works carried out in the national territory and in countries such as Argentina, Brazil or Spain.

We promote humanist thinking and the knowledge represented in the works made with the particular technique of reinforced ceramics from Dieste.  This, through promoting broad exchange with the various academic, cultural, social and educational actors interested in this legacy.

​

To meet these objectives, the Foundation is supported by resources from the different activities it carries out, as well as individual and institutional donations and support.  In the previous years we focused on achieving the inscription of the work by engineer Eladio Dieste on the UNESCO World Heritage List, represented since July 2021 by the Cristo Obrero church of Estación Atlántida.  We coordinate and carry out technical and/or exclusive visits to the main works of the engineer Eladio Dieste in Uruguay, as well as education courses and workshops aimed at various audiences, all supported by a group of national and international experts on the subject.
