An ink-on-vellum architectural plan and section that maps Flora Manteola’s design for the ATC television complex, using a disciplined structural grid to organize studios, circulation, and services.

A precise square grid dominates the sheet, punctuated by diagonal braces, an angled service spine and a stacked stair block at the right, while a thin sectional slice at the top with tiny human figures supplies a quiet sense of scale.

The drawing exemplifies late‑modernist practice in Latin America—where meticulous hand‑drawing and modular planning translated technical logic into civic media architecture—and signals Manteola’s influential contribution to large institutional design in Argentina.
