"At the untamed confluence of the Paraná River and the Uruguay River, where the waters flow into the vast Río de la Plata, a singular commission is established. The landscape, a symphony of wetlands and scattered jungle green, evokes the unknown: a primordial nature accessible only by waterway and living under the constant threat of floods. Here, architecture does not seek to disappear but to assert itself; not to go unnoticed, but to engage in dialogue with the organic power of the place."
"Text description provided by the architects. At the untamed confluence of the Paraná River and the Uruguay River, where the waters flow into the vast Río de la Plata, a singular commission is established.

A project occupies the confluence of the Paraná River and the Uruguay River where waters pour into the Río de la Plata. The site is characterized by wetlands and scattered jungle vegetation that convey a sense of primordial, unknown nature. The location is reachable only by water and faces a constant threat of flooding. Architectural intent is to assert a presence rather than to vanish into the landscape. The architectural approach seeks to engage in a dialogue with the organic power and dynamics of the place while responding to environmental conditions.
