Interior Design: The Use of Rugs and Tapestries in Latin American Domestic Living

Agustina Iñiguez — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 16:03:00 +0000

Originating as protection against low temperatures around 3,500 years ago, carpets and rugs have, over time, evolved into a true art form, reaching a high level of specialization by the 16th century. Rugs, carpets, and tapestries of various shapes, colors, textures, and patterns are integrated into different areas of the home to meet users' needs and enhance spatial comfort, sometimes extending far beyond their original purpose.

COMPOSING THE VOID - Architectural language is made up of concepts that help us produce forms. LANGUAGE AND CONCEPT - All language is based on a relationship between concepts. In architecture, concepts are used to designate the desires and needs that make up a problem and allow us to generate a FORM to solve it. When we talk about spaces, the VOID immediately comes into play. This is understood as that matter that remains intact and that allows the experience of living. The main idea is to achieve a central VOID by piling up the functional program requested by the client as if they were independent container elements. This concept creates a diagrammatic form that consists of organizing all the functional pieces around that EMPTY SPACE.

House in Casilda / hg arquitecto

Valeria Silva — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 17:51:00 +0000

The site is part of a newly formed development, designed under the logic of a gated community, featuring a completely different layout and located at the edge of the neighborhood. The lot sits at the end of a cul-de-sac, leaving four of its sides as orthogonal party walls, plus a curved front that serves as the building line. The first decision was to build a house between party walls, materializing the boundaries and discarding the idea of a freestanding volume. This is how the continuous, curved facade emerged.

Houses on Sand in Argentina

Mariana Etulain — Sun, 05 Jul 2026 20:37:00 +0000

Building sandcastles on the beach is an ancient practice that allows us to dive deep into our imagination, ideas, and dreams. For many, it was likely our first approach to construction. Water and sand merge, transforming into space—something greater than the sum of its parts. While fortresses, bridges, and moats are a thing of the past for some, another typology has emerged to take their place: the house.

Agustina Coulleri — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 09:00:00 +0000

Casa MJ156 sits on a corner lot within a private suburban estate. This given condition, a typified territory, of a different urbanity in traditional terms, is always a challenge, an opportunity for reflection through a specific project.

Brick Houses in Argentina: 15 Examples Exploring Pattern and Design

Belén Maiztegui — Tue, 03 May 2022 05:00:00 +0000

Brick has positioned itself as one of the materials that characterise and identify Argentinean and Latin American architectural culture. The diversity and versatility of masonry in our region have given rise to great heterogeneity in its uses and applications: structural walls, partitions, enclosures, screens, envelopes, skins, roofs, vaults, domes and floors allow us to visualise the great adaptability of this material in order to adapt to the particular requirements of each project.

House in Roldan / Leo Rota

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 17:00:00 +0000

The project is located in a new neighborhood where until not so long ago it was only countryside. Like several of these new developments in the area, the place was defined by having practically no trees in sight. So, when we bought it, it was curious to find a small wild tree planted by the wind.

From Representation to Reality: 19 Projects that Rethink Representation Techniques

Agustina Coulleri — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 07:30:00 +0000

Graphics, even before language and writing, were the first means of communication and significance for humanity. Drawing is the act of replacing reality with representation, that is, replacing objects with images encoded in each of the graphic representation systems.

Belén Maiztegui — Sat, 19 Dec 2020 07:30:00 +0000

Thanks to its aesthetic qualities and malleability, concrete is the darling of the world's builders and architects. In Argentina in particular, concrete's durability and adaptability to a range of climatic conditions makes it one of the most sought after construction materials, demonstrated by, not only the country's countless museums, hotels, hospitals, but by its residential and smaller-scale buildings as well.

Brick in Latin American Architecture: Hospitals and Health Centers

Santiago Baraya — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 05:00:00 +0000

The focus of buildings should ultimately be the well-being of the people using them. When we think of our experiences in hospitals, clinics, the dentist's office, and other medical facilities, the feeling is rarely pleasant. Perhaps it's the smells, the dull, monotone colors, or the sound of medical gadgets working away on some unlucky patient.

Brick House / Diego Arraigada Arquitecto

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 19 Nov 2019 07:00:00 +0000

A regulatory requirement of the city of Rosario that requires the use of bearing brick walls up to the height of twelve meters is the starting point of this research work on bearing masonry and common brick as a basic building unit. Additionally, the decision to work with exposed masonry responds to a contextual continuity with the city's buildings, the use of the expertise achieved by the local workforce and the low maintenance of its surfaces.
