De la Serie Buenos Aires sin arquitectos

Buenos Aires

I present the photo of a real house and the model, it belongs to a series of different houses in the surroundings of Buenos Aires, the model usually associated with large architectural undertakings, is seen here in an inverse procedure to capture the diversity of styles, of that Buenos Aires without architects where each neighbor decorates his house to his liking, without the urban rules of the big cities and in which we can read the socio-cultural map of the development of the suburbs in the different decades in those houses of similar construction, personalized with golden lions, deer and religious murals

They are made of cardboard in 1:70 scale. The photo of the house was taken one year ago and the model was made in 1994 and is currently part of the Collection of the National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
