Silos of Puerto Madero is a unique building. Being the same age as an ambitious urban development project, the building witnessed intensive development of a new industrial zone in the early 20th century, rapid decline and long years of degradation of the port infrastructure, renovation and transformation of Puerto de Madero into a prestigious and promising new area with a rich historical background. History does not end, it is like a server where time records information for storage and analysis. The idea of the project is connected to this - to organize a space in which history, time, space, reality and the virtual world become the subjects of research and experiments. Immersive art center creates conditions when a person, real and the virtual world, being in a historical and architectural container, interact and find a common ground.
The project proposal includes an enlargement of underground parking by reorganizing landscape at the seafront side. Direct communication between the promenade of Puerto Madero and its famous Women's Bridge (Puente de la Mujer) on the one hand and the Park of Argentine Women (Parque Mujeres Argentinas) and the natural reserve on the other is also created. There are a few exhibition spaces: installations, video and audio projections inside hollow cylindrical volumes. These volumes are interconnected by a ramp, that visitors can use to get to the observation platforms and enjoy panoramic views of the historical part of the city. Vertical communications and administration office are located in the existing rectangular volume. The built-in block includes auditoriums for various presentations and a greenhouse where the flora of Argentina is collected and displayed. There are a rooftop bar and a pool as well.
