Text presentation of the author in English

Architecture is, without any doubt, linked to photography, and my passion for the latter has gradually grown, becoming a common means of capturing the unusual and various places discovered through many journeys. Active in both professional practice and education, the built space is a major subject of my own photographs, through its variety and quality. Any trip – shorter (a scientific conference, a trade fair, a sports competition) or longer (a winter or summer vacation, a student traineeship, a world exhibition) – to a new location represents for me an opportunity to encounter architecture from other areas or cultures, immortalizing both constructive innovations and traditional techniques.

Project description in English.

A contemporary construction, in the central riverside area of ​​a city with millions of inhabitants, caught my attention with the quality of the fine details, quite suitable for an exclusive area of ​​Buenos Aires. Where "money is no object", the architect can propose (or impose) certain fine elements that give elegance to the building, such as bronze elements and curved glass on the balconies. However, birds can nest where humans do not normally reach.
