The MISGISISIS and studies R2b1 were the winners for building 120 homes in the south of Buenos Aires. The proposal is based on another historical project for this area, the towers in La Boca , architects Justo Solsona, Josefa Santos and Ernesto Katzenstein (with the structure of Ing. Gallo), 1957.

"The main idea of this project, from conception Metabolist was alternating stacking boxes to propose a typology of terraced corner house, which allows a panoramic view of the harbor and the city," say the architects of PRO.CRE project. AR - Buenos Aires Station - Sector 10.

These new towers consist of three new buildings: Two towers of 12 levels and a horizontal block 3 These resume, in a contemporary way, the typology of stacked boxes and recessed organized around empty. These generate expansion gaps related to public use of the units. The odd and even alternating plants and contain such semi-open spaces. Another block of PB + 3 levels contains a bedroom units while the ground floor leads to the bar / public kiosk project.

The proposed MISGISISIS and R2b1 sheds light on a somewhat forgotten area of the city of Buenos Aires while rescues File a past project of great value.

Pro.Cre.Ar / Station Buenos Aires / Sector 10

The particularity of this sector comes from being the beginning and end, portal input and / or output set Estación Buenos Aires. The tower typology of specific buildings, also gives this character auction, door assembly Sur. The proposed joint sector is solved in two towers PB + 12 floors with 4 units per floor (tower 48); Low rise and PB + 3 levels with 24 units of 1 bedroom, ground floor, the bar kiosk requested. For the implementation of a Torres displacement with respect to each other is proposed, taking the diagonal street edge of the urban sector.

Torres Mouth/ The Continuity Of Ideas

This project arises from the idea of resuming Towers in La Boca , architects Justo Solsona, Josefa Santos and Ernesto Katzenstein (with the structure of Ing. Gallo), the year 1957 winner of a national competition project for the construction of 300 homes ever built. The main idea of this project, from conception Metabolist was alternating stacking boxes to propose a typology of terraced corner house, which allows a panoramic view of the harbor and city.

Towers Barracas / Alternating Plants

The idea for these towers, Sector 10 Station PRO.CRE.AR Buenos Aires / Barracks, is reinterpreted in a contemporary way, that project. And that is a project of 4 units per floor, 4 corners. So we had to do in the first instance, to resign a unit of 1 bedroom per floor, which were displaced above the Building K (Kiosk / Bar). Thus, the central interest of the project lies in the generation towers and rotating your plants, allowing you to organize homes around a courtyard terrace dimensions and proportions that make it a central space of the unit. The terrace is the expansion, yet is contained in the ground like a local. The Room, Dining Room and Kitchen, naturally expand to the same, with two free sides and two protected, a suitable climate comfort for this city is secured. So Unity is central to the project, because a non-encased housing is proposed, as a transition between a department and an individual home
