‘Space in between’ explores the potential of creating space that is in continuous formation by uncovering and harnessing the hidden forces that structure everything around us. It proposes a different spatial paradigm in which architecture is conceived as a transformative, self-organising system that responds to invisible forces and human activity. The project envisions environments that are ephemeral, durational, and participatory. Through iterative testing of spatial configurations, the thesis suggests a different understanding of architecture, not as a fixed form, but as a dynamic interface of forces, matter, and people.

Through this thesis we are proposing an architecture that responds as we move through it; reflecting a world in constant motion and challenging us to reconsider how we inhabit space, not as passive users, but as active participants in shaping our environment.

The project is located within a proposed new centrality in Pilar, Buenos Aires, informed by an urban analysis of mobility, green space, zoning, and existing urban fabric. A masterplan inspired by Barcelona’s superblocks establishes a sustainable urban framework, where a mixeduse building and public plaza occupy a transitional block. At the heart of the design is a wooden facade with integrated planters, which allows for specific user configuration. This creates a flexible and evolving facade, where individual contributions shape the overall identity. With native flowering species, the facade responds to the seasons, making each side of the building unique and dynamic throughout the year.

The thesis is structured around three interconnected scales: territorial, urban, and architectural. It begins with a wide-reaching territorial analysis that informs a comprehensive regional proposal. From there, it zooms in to develop a new urban model, laying out the framework for a future city. Within this city, the architectural intervention is situated as a key component.

While each scale is developed with its own specific proposals, the final outcome operates as a cohesive system— interlinking territory, environment, urban fabric, population, and landscape into a unified vision.

Year 2023

This residential project is nestled on an inclined site, with the design responding to the natural topography through a staggered layout that follows the terrain’s contours. A warm, timber-clad exterior integrates the house into its wooded surroundings, enhancing its connection to nature. The project was developed from initial concept design through to interior design, technical documentation, and construction supervision, resulting in a fully built and realised home.

Mixed use building

Location

Pilar, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Year

2021-2023

The mixed-use building is situated next to the new centrality in Pilar, at km 50. The building’s design creates a plaza along the corner pavement, merging a commercial front with a terrace patio. Along the building’s front, shops and studios are located to transition between the commercial plaza and the residential zone. The private residential apartments are connected to the plaza but have separate entrances and fully equipped gardens, providing them with private space while still being close to the commercial sector.

Year 2021

This single-family home was designed and built as a contemporary two-storey residence, combining refined spatial organisation with bespoke architectural detailing. A defining feature is the upper terrace, resolved with an integrated drainage system through a continuous perimeter gutter. Realised as an inverted beam, this element not only solves technical needs but also crowns the elevation, adding a strong visual language to the design. The project encompassed all stages—from concept design and technical documentation to construction supervision and final delivery.

Year 2023

This project seeks to recover Buenos Aires’ relationship with the river. It understands the vital importance in the revitalisation of the coastal area, improving not only its natural environment, but the relationship of this landscape with the City.

The main proposal is to integrate the different types of developments surrounding the coastal area, through a landscape piece of architecture that connects the two main parts of the city, whilst consolidating a new observation platform for the riverfront park.

Render | Aerial view riverfront park

Concept

Buenos Aires has the hydrological basin with the widest river mouth in the world, and no adequate treatment for the surrounding wetland.

Landscape typologies

The city also seems to give its back to the river, not taking advantage of the unique scenery of the estuary.

A new riverfront park could integrate the proposal of a new lookout point and a new device of landscape remediation.

New observation platform that provides an ecosystemic remediation point that will expand inwards towards the city center.

“Students collaborate in groups, focusing on digital modelling and fabrication techniques. They investigate structural configurations and intricate geometric topologies through form-finding processes and generate customised geometric data for computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Three-dimensional tessellation systems and geometric unrolling methods are applied to simplify the overall design into flat components, enabling the production of physical prototypes using laser cutters and foldable flat sheets.”

This work explores the design of interlocking wooden systems developed through digital fabrication techniques, where spatial assembly is achieved solely through geometric logic. The workshop focused on creating joints that require no glue, nails, or external supports—relying entirely on the precision and intelligence of the interlocking design. By testing the structural and spatial potential of aggregation, the project demonstrates how localized connection strategies can scale into complex, self-supporting pavilions. It highlights the role of geometry as both structural logic and spatial driver, where form emerges through the accumulation of systematically designed parts.
