The eighth edition of the international architecture festival in Buenos Aires will take place on the weekend of July 18 and 19, featuring a revamped format to adapt to the current situation and bring architecture to citizens during this atypical 2020. Virtually, Open House Buenos Aires will open the doors to 16 examples of the city's architecture, which will be presented through live streams conducted by their architects and those who inhabit their spaces. From your screen, you will be able to discover, learn about, and reflect on various themes surrounding the city and its contemporary and historical heritage.
Aiming to continue the discussion and uncover opportunities for adaptation and resilience, the Association of Architecture Offices (AOA) continues its series of conversations addressing various topics relevant to both professional practice and the public and private spheres that shape the city.
