Quinquela Martin Art School

The Quinquela Martin Art School is a memorial school dedicated to the late artist, Benito Quinquela Martin. The project is located in the vibrant neighborhood of La Boca, known for its expressive arts culture and industrial roots. 

The project aims to absorb the fabric of La Boca through a minimal steel frame construction wrapped with a laminated glass envelope. Inspired by the collage of the neighborhood, the building form gradually rises up through a series of gently sloped paths, that serve as both a means of vertical circulation and spaces for exhibition of student work.
