Mario Roberto Álvarez: alla ricerca del Moderno

The work of Argentinean architect Mario Roberto Alvarez in his very numerous and varied production tackling a variety of issues represents a remarkable example of integrity and rigor within the complex history of the Latin American Modern architecture of the last century. The essay in outlining his training and his debut focuses on the analysis of three of his works that testify the value of his research based on reduction to a few basic principles in a strict relationship between the technical forms and architectural ones.
