GUSTAVO DIÉGUEZ, LUCAS GILARDI
Gustavo Diéguez and Lucas Gilardi are both architects who enjoy building projects with their own hands. Their work consists in producing a variety of objects of daily use that reach the size of pieces of architecture. In their projects they combine art, architecture, sociology and urbanism, and they show special interest in reusing industrial remnants and in recycling, applying both to experimental housing, the creation of ephemeral institutions, the enlivening of social dynamics in the public realm and the self-governance of cultural institutions. Gustavo is an associate professor of Architecture at Universidad de Buenos Aires’ School of Architecture and the head professor of the Laboratory of Experimental Building for Social Housing at Universidad de Palermo’s School of Architecture, where he is also one of the coordinators of Red de Urbanismo Abierto (“Open Urbanism Network”). Lucas is an associate professor of Architecture at Universidad de Buenos Aires’ School of Architecture. He is also one of the members of the Graduates Council and the head of the School of Architecture at FADU, Universidad de Buenos Aires.
