An ink-on-vellum site plan for the ATC television complex in Buenos Aires in which Flora Manteola lays out buildings, courtyards, and planted water features to shape movement and visual order across the site.
What strikes you is the confident contrast between a strict, measured grid and a cluster of octagonal pavilions and sinuous ponds—rendered in precise linework and delicate stippling so the eye shifts between geometry and organic landscape.
The drawing exemplifies 1970s Argentine modernism and the architectural hand-drawing tradition, revealing how a leading woman architect negotiated rigorous planning with human-scaled, landscaped spaces and documenting a design process rarely preserved in archives.
