The project is implemented in the central area from the City of Buenos Aires, on Av. Diagonal Norte, one hundred meters from the Plaza de Mayo.
It is a building with hybridwhere the teaching of artistic disciplines with housing and some complementary uses in relation to the zero level coexist.
The exercise consists of rethink urban morphology Within a consolidated area, so the immediate environment of the building and the relationship with its boundaries were fundamental variables for its formation.
The main physiognomy of the North Diagonalrespecting the maximum heights on this route and neighboring gaps through continuous and homogeneous tissue, but with contemporary language.
In relation to the city and its surroundings, the project raises in its base A large cloister with a dry square as an intermediate public space between the private of the building and the street of the street.
In its basement, several levels of program are developed for the study and exhibition of different branches of Arts and dance.

Finally, a vertical piece destined for homes grows above the average height of the apple and Shoot with a viewpoint In double height, highlighting, also for its location and its visuals towards the Río de la Plata.
Comment from the chair
The first fourth year exercise of the architecture of the Ledesma – Solsona chair is a Urban Completion in a consolidated area. Particularly, it develops in the central area of the city, within a polygon delimited by streets Libertad, Rivadavia, San Martín and Lavalle.
Each team of students composed of three people works on a particular block. To operate on the lot the boundary buildingsits protection degrees, its heights, internal courtyards and municipal line withdrawals.
In this case, students are based on international referents and do so with great sensitivity in each morphological operation, in relation to the heights of the boundary buildings, the Historical particularity of the North Diagonal, contemplating its withdrawals and height of the consolidated facade.
The team chose to develop a homogeneous language Unique that represents the entire building, regardless of the program, since it is a hybrid building that concentrates, in this case, a cultural and residential program. Which makes it contemporary, as opposed to its surroundings.
In particular, the synthesis with which students manage intermediate spaces.

Marcos (22 years) What he enjoys most like architecture is teamwork and solve the situations that are presented when designing. He says that he is anxious to start the last year of the race and follow the production of local studies Ignacio Szulman and go architecture, “because of what technical and sensitive“Of your work.
While performing one internship In which he collaborates in the design of commercial premises, he made a specialized course in architecture photography “to have more tools as a professional future.”
“As Major Works Master I acquired a lot of knowledge in relation to construction, ”says Dylan (23 years), sure of his vocation.
“To be able to solve the needs that a person asks us for their future house, building or perhaps a space that many people will use” is what stands out most of their profession. Shortly after finishing his career, he hopes to enter the workplace for Going experience.
