  1. on 08 Dec 2008 M Blacker

    Drop into this luminescent, angular space for a crash course in 20th-century Latin American art: works by Mexico’s Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Colombia’s Fernando Botero, Brazil’s Candido Portinari, and Argentina’s Xul Solar and Guillermo Kuitca. A guided tour of this impressionist, cubist and abstract stockpile assembled by tycoon Eduardo Costantini is worthwhile, as is the shop brimming with goodies made by talented locals.

    Arup was commissioned to collaborate with the architects, AFT Arquitectos, to create bespoke solutions for a range of different facade configurations.

    The range of bespoke systems used on the building include single glazed ”shingles” with both sealed and open ventilating joints, fixed double glazing to atria walls and offices, opening vents to double glazing for offices, and glass floors.

    The development of a suite of extruded aluminium profiles was defined by certain key design parameters. The overall number of profiles was limited to keep costs and installation complexities to a minimum.
    The interface was standardized with the secondary structure and each component was designed to maximize the number of functions it could fulfill. An illustration of this concept is the profiles that hold the shingles in place also acting as piano hinges for the opening vents.
    The facade concepts were developed during two one-week long design workshops in Buenos Aires with AFT and Guillermo Marshall, their local facade consultant. The final design remained faithful to those original concepts.

    Built at a cost of $25 million by Buenos Aires businessman Eduardo F. Costantini, the glass-and-limestone structure was designed by three young Argentine architects (Gaston Atelman, Martin Fourcade and Alfredo Tapai), selected after an international competition that garnered 430 entries from 45 countries. The building features 21,000 square feet of interior exhibition space, a 2,800-square-foot sculpture court, plus a bookstore, restaurant and 275-seat auditorium
