Immersive Art Center of Puerto Madero

A disused grain silo on the Puerto Madero waterfront is reimagined as an immersive art center. The project preserves the silo's cylindrical concrete cells and carves them into galleries, connected by bridges and framed by planted courtyards, rather than clearing the structure to start over.

Presentation Board01

Across three exhibition levels, the hollowed cylinders house auditoriums, a botanical garden and rotating art installations, with terraces opening onto views of the historic city center. The roof is developed as a public recreation deck with a pool and gardens, extending the promenade of Puerto Madero toward the Park of Argentine Women.

Below ground, the existing parking is enlarged by reorganizing the surrounding landscape, and water is treated as part of that landscape rather than separated from it.
