In Argentina, modernism has played a pivotal role since the 1920s, transforming architectural practices and beliefs. Architects such as Alejandro Virasoro and Alberto Prebisch engaged with modernist principles, reflecting local and regional conditions while innovating aesthetics and construction techniques. Residential architecture became a prime domain for exploring new living paradigms, as smaller-scale projects allowed architects to experiment creatively. The article showcases eight significant residential works, including Alejandro Bustillo's 1928 design for Victoria Ocampo, which embodies the modernist ethos through minimalist forms, harmonious proportions, and an intricate dialogue with nature.
This property, designed in 1928 by architect Alejandro Bustillo for the renowned Victoria Ocampo, showcases modernism with austere surfaces and fluid exterior relationships.
