Taller Estudio Arquitectura: The project arises from research, through previously knowing and then investigating the ethnographic composition of the location. We have an understanding that we are a part of these historical events that last over time.
Located in the center of the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. This particular region was the destination of the migratory flows of the Volga Germans. In the eighteenth century many German families were motivated to settle on both banks of the Volga River in Russia: Bergseite and Wiesenseite. In German, Seite means “side”, these words referring to Flat Side and Mountain Side. A century later, to improve their living conditions, they decided to look for new destinations, near another river: the Paraná River.
With them they brought their construction traditions: The use of brick, verticality in the windows and the design of solid facades without entrance to the front since they lived under the constant threat of invasions. And so, they founded numerous villages that today are part of the identity of this corner of the world. Fortunately, today there are no invasions to fear, only the joy of celebrating life and memory.
