“An Inhabitable Place” — Tigre Islands, Buenos Aires

The artificial, the natural
This project is developed on an abstract landscape that is constant and homogeneous. “Make a place in space” takes shape from the time when streamlining project processes determines a new architectural characterization; then, the work poses as an emplacement object about abstract landscape. The symbolic meaning of the work as a non-evident variable transgresses the figurative to be part of the surrounding object landscape.

Context
The time-space relationship is determined by the program articulation and movement, in the reinterpretation of phenomenal spaces spanning instances of light and tectonics. Without falling into the descriptive, expressive specificity determines the work as an object that sets up a new space. The natural place ceases to exist to reconfigure into a new one.

Changed nature
In particular, the work is determined by the radiance between the existing and the new: the framing of an interior with the surrounding landscape. The limits are set from the vertical motion sequences in which visual and programmatic uses are determined by the fusion of two places: the natural and the artificial. The narrative space is armed as defining instances of spatial tensions in relation to the existing site.

Limits idea
The work focuses on the idea of space contained within an existing landscape; thus, architectural specificity becomes relevant to the outer and inner experience. In contrast to the idea of presence, the cabin is a permanent work, a reinterpretation of the symbolism and tradition of a cottage on an island. Deciduous materials are used, but given the contrast surrounding, warmth is not lost in the livable place.

Joints and movements
The cabin is designed for six owners, who live in different times individually and sometimes in groups. So, a neutral space that allows various recreational entities maintains the original place as a key aspect of this new space. The work is determined as a collection of places: a primitive place, an object-place, a recreational place, a contemplative place, and a pragmatic place.
