Under the ancestral shadow of a carob, the Space No. 24 It offers refuge and calm while guiding the sample route in a kind of concrete passage ritual of the Former Argüello Academy to the white walls of the old house that exists from before (and will continue to exist because it is almost the only thing that will not demolish, along with the tree and the former library).

In the heart of this Foa house, the Living essence (This is what the space is called) What was emerges as an oasis. The proposal of the team of MasdarIn charge of Florencia Nocioni, Noelia Zanella, Nicolás Speak, Nadir Lisco, Rodrigo Ceballos and Juliana López Araoz, spilled from and from the 350 -year -old carob.

“We did A contemplation space. We wanted to enhance and integrate the landscape into the architecture. The project was a challenge because the tree really has a lot of prominence. We think of A tour to discover And, at the same time, entering this place that invites you to stay, to stop at time and to feel the connection, ”Nocioni details.

With the chosen materiality (wood, ceramics, stones) and native vegetation, more added sounds and aromas, they achieved An envelope of “living and natural elements to recreate a Cordoba forest”.

The challenge was achieved and paid off: Masdar stayed with the award to the “Best landscaping and biofily space” Thanks to that true immersive experience.

Another oda to the landscape is “Petricor“, he Space No. 7 developed by Ariel Oliva, from Olive Studio. The idea of ​​the landscapeist who debuts in the Cordoba edition but was already in several Buenos Aires editions (and came especially from Buenos Aires) was to deploy the Cordoba cartography, evoking the richness of its landscapes.

“Petricor means smell of ground, an aroma that I love and that I worked from the replacement of floors with this deck to give the sensation of map and trip through Córdoba. There is a social area with intervened banks By Cecilia Tomassetti to evoke the rocks, ”describes Oliva while finishing the last luminaire.

For olive the intention was clear: “Trip in Córdoba In space. ”The floor was carefully worked, with a change of deck grid that reinforces the map sensation. A social area invites the meeting, with banks intervened with a coating similar to the rock.

“I wanted to work with a single species, the carandaywhich is a native palm. Therefore, there is a great artistic installation of Federico Rolla, a kind of greenhouse with the germination of the seeds, a structure that drips on the plants and ends in the development of the textiles of the communities of the north of the province – intervention of Claudia Santanera – represented in this structure of Ambique and Production of Caranday, ”explains Oliva.

The scenography is completed with Aluminum furniture Simile wood upholstered with special fabrics.

In it Space No. 43of Maluf & Asoc. along with IASE Architecturethe team formed by Nora Maluf, Sofía Quiligotti, María Vega and Lucas Asensio, thought of an inner courtyard as a sensory and experimental connection. Thus, landscaping is integrated into the proposals of the other developer spaces that function as Model Units (Housing and Office) and also dialogues with the ex -library, space No. 42 Auditorium.

In the place too A central tree Welcome. “It is perceived as an icon and focal point, generating a game of lights and shadows through its branches and foliage,” they say.

Las typical ditches of the city and also from Argüello are reflected in the sound and flow of water. The proposal is completed with vegetation and mirrors that amplify the surface, “allowing the visitor to perceive the landscape that leaves behind and announcing the passage towards the following spaces.”
