In this compendium of Argentine architecture from the 1980s, Adriana Irigoyen and Ramón Gutiérrez select works that reconcile with their roots and attempt to rediscover their origins and the variety that accompanies them —and reject— “what merely mimics foreign models” does not appear in the book.

Between Irigoyen’s introduction and Gutiérrez’s closing —which include an assessment of the past decade and a forecast for the future— more than thirty buildings of diverse typologies are presented.
