The project
MZM arquitectos and Mazzinghi Sánchez arquitectos won the competition for the ITBA Technological District headquarters in Parque Patricios, Buenos Aires. The 4,700 m2 complex on a half-block site combines a new three-storey building for Computer Engineering with two restored former city maintenance warehouses for Mechanical Engineering workshops and an auditorium.
The new building runs along Lavardén Street, linking the two existing buildings between green spaces. Bioclimatic design shaped its form, with grey water reuse, green roofs and solar collectors, while the warehouses keep their large columns and metal trusses. It was completed in 2017.
