Intro
LA MADRESELVA – ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION
The competition invites participants to envision the expansion of this unique retreat immersed in the Argentine countryside, allowing it to accommodate up to 20 guests without losing the essence of the place.
The goal is to design small-scale lodging units that integrate harmoniously with the Pampas landscape. A sensitive use of materials and the application of sustainability principles will be essential to preserve the site’s identity and enhance its appeal.
The challenge goes beyond designing a simple a rural accommodation complex. It’s about establishing a dialogue between past and present, proposing an architecture that connects the new structures with the existing ones and with the surrounding landscape.
The configuration is open-ended: participants may propose a flexible system of varied accommodations, a single repeatable unit, or a combination of both strategies. The layout may take the form of a single volume containing multiple functions, scattered elements throughout the landscape, or interconnected groups of buildings.
