//PROJECTS
01 UCPA 02 VIANA
//UCPA 2020 - 2021 Final degree project Martín Castro & Mauro Pizurnia Taller Berio FADU – UDELAR
The final degree project centers on revitalizing the former El Día newspaper workshops at Piedra Alta 1720. Recognizing the area’s potential for cultural enterprises, a thoughtfully crafted cultural program aims to rejuvenate the ex-industrial space. Guided by principles such as envisioning the project volumetrically (m³), adopting an open floor plan for diverse uses, and highlighting facilities to structure spatiality, the intervention aims to transform the building’s massive volume. The design intentionally contrasts the old with the new, ensuring that the original nature of the intervention is both preserved and celebrated.
//VIANA 2020 - 2021 Consolidation project Architect in charge: Alejandro Berro Heritage Division Montevideo City Council
The Montevideo City Council’s Heritage Division is engaged in the restoration project of the historic farmhouse once owned by Montevideo’s first governor, José Joaquín de Viana. Dating back to 1756, this construction boasts thick brick walls, ranking it among the capital’s oldest civil structures. Inspired by J. Ruskin’s philosophy, our restoration project aims to not only ensure structural stability but also celebrate the inherent beauty of this historical ruin. Despite limited time and resources, we prioritize highlighting the remnants of the original construction, preserving its historical significance for future interventions.
