An ink-on-vellum site plan by architect Flora Manteola presenting a proposed layout for the Argentina Televisora Color complex in Buenos Aires, where a disciplined grid of paved squares organizes buildings, courtyards and landscape interventions to shape movement and program.

What first arrests the eye is the taut contrast between the measured orthogonal grid and the irregular, rock-like ponds and planted islands—rendered in delicate hatchwork and stippling on translucent vellum—so the drawing reads as both technical plan and finely crafted image.

The sheet captures a moment in late‑1970s architectural practice that married rigorous modernist planning with expressive landscape elements and highlights the role of Argentine women architects in shaping large public commissions.
