#CiudadQuilmes Quilmes' Brewery New Headquarters Buenos Aires. Argentina.
Private Competition - participation by invitation. Work team: Ricardo Sargiotti, Maria Rovea Aguirre, Agustin Mauro, Franco Frisicaro, Daniela Lauandos, Maria Leguizamon, Luca Clementi. The opening of the new headquarters will concur with the return to the offices and workspaces after the pause imposed by the pandemic. As companies and their teams prepare for such a return, some questions are being posed with urgency: How do we use our offices? Are The environments they offer still appropriate? How should the new postpandemic workspaces look like? And how could they overcome the inertia of the home-office tendency? This project argues for a new reinterpretation of the workspace, and adopts a programmatic layout that links the company's slogan: "we have the dream of uniting people for a better world" to the concept of “encounters” in the city. This idea of using qualities of the city as sustenance and organization for our proposal, allowed us to conceptualize the new office-space as a sequence of places that bring inside the experience of walking around streets, parks and urban blocks (public, semi-public and private spaces): a true city inside the city that brings people together.
