Brick has positioned itself as one of the materials that characterise and identify Argentinean and Latin American architectural culture. The diversity and versatility of masonry in our region have given rise to great heterogeneity in its uses and applications: structural walls, partitions, enclosures, screens, envelopes, skins, roofs, vaults, domes and floors allow us to visualise the great adaptability of this material in order to adapt to the particular requirements of each project.

The different ways of positioning and linking the masonry elements together make it possible to design a wide variety of surfaces, generating lattices and patterns that not only influence the final finish and texture of the project but also enable architects to experiment with issues associated with light and atmosphere, making it possible to generate walls and screens that act as sieves and filters.
