Abstract: This article addresses the institutional course of two nodal agencies in the operation of the Ministry of Industries and Public Works of the province of Mendoza, between 1932-1943. As a result, it was noted that, under the aegis of national policies to alleviate the adverse effects of the crisis of 1929, the Directorate of Architecture and the Directorate of Industrial and Agricultural Development designed and implemented policies aimed at public works, viticulture and diversification agroindustrial, respectively. The complementary approach of both dependencies allows us to conclude that the first one faced long-term projects but with forceful and lasting effects; the other in the short term but with immediate results. In both cases, they assumed the management of key areas that resulted in the incorporation of specialized personnel and the reorganization of the dependencies with a view to meeting the growing demands of a provincial State, which expanded its interference with action.
