Rest as an Experience in a Space Rich with Symbolism: Insights from the Argentinian Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Biennale

Paula Pintos — Thu, 15 May 2025 07:30:00 +0000

The proposal by Argentinian architects Marco Zampieron and Juan Manuel Pachué for the Argentinian Pavilion at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale 2025 is clear from the outset: upon entering Siestario, visitors are immersed in a space of dim lighting and evocative sound, and immediately encounter—at the center of the room, stretched across its width, and acting as the undeniable protagonist—a large, inflated pink bag that instinctively invites repose. This is a silobag, an object commonly used in the Argentinian countryside to store grain and a potent symbol of the country’s export-driven economy. In this setting, the silobag becomes more than a spatial intervention; it also introduces a temporal dimension: an invitation to pause and reflect amid the relentless rhythm of the Biennale.

In recent years, the Argentine architectural field has been shaped by a group of young architects striving to create architecture that responds innovatively to contemporary needs and, above all, to local contexts. Adding their individual perspectives and interests, among them, we can highlight the work of architects Tomás Balparda and Fernando Brunel.

Hidden House / Estudio STGO

Andreas Luco — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The concept originated from the quest for a centrally located house with a courtyard in the city, aiming to avoid relocating to the outskirts while still maintaining privacy and adapting to the characteristics of urban land. Situated on an unconventional lot in Rosario, the house has a narrow front of 3.40 meters that widens towards the center of the block, where a neighborhood mechanic workshop previously operated. The goal is for the house to blend in and act as a refuge within its context.

A01 Apartment Building / Federico Marinaro Arquitecto

Agustina Coulleri — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0000

To describe the argumentation that supports this project, we find it interesting to start with a question: How to reconcile the different resources we have for future living, for producing an architecture that operates within the real estate market? Within the uniqueness of the productive, constructive, and social economy, that is, the resource economy of Argentina in 2019-2021, we propose the description of a specific and local model in which the economy, logistics, resources, production systems, and a certain aspect of industrialization through metal structures became a working system for the studio, in certain projects underway and specifically in this recently completed work.

Agustina Iñiguez — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 05:00:00 +0000

As a protagonist of the Argentinean culinary scene, the barbecue plays a prominent role. In architecture, beyond the dimensions of the spaces where they are installed, grills are consolidated as a meeting point for visitors and residents of the houses, coming into direct contact with the customs and culture of the country.

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 11:00:00 +0000

The project is located in Pichincha, a neighborhood near the central area of the city. This traditionally residential area currently allows low (13.65m high), and compact buildings (with 4m x 4m courtyards). That is why the building is worked as a single porous building mass, progressively pierced through a succession of strategies that determine different porosity gradients.

We use W profiles and thermo-insulating panels with two sheet metal faces and injected rigid polyurethane foam between them and hermetic openings with double glazing.

Casa Vecina / Moszoro Pucci Arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Wed, 27 Apr 2022 16:00:00 +0000

The refurbished and expanded property was part of a single-family housing complex built in 1939. Front-facing houses were replaced by a high-rise apartment building, while the back plots underwent various independent schemes of refurbishment and expansion. The cornerstone decision of our project was to return to the house's original concept by reverting a series of interventions and enlargements that had rendered the spaces locked in, and deprived the whole property both of natural light and ventilation. New house owners requested an increase in the living surface which required demolition work.

The neighborhood has a long history of nightlife and leisure time as a result of its closeness to Rosario Central railway station.
