Superficie Comun
I am an Argentinian architect whose practice is gradually expanding beyond the traditional boundaries of the discipline. Alongside my professional experience in architectural design, I have become increasingly interested in research as a form of practice—using photography, drawing, writing and observation to investigate how everyday spaces shape the way we live together.
My work is driven by ordinary situations that often remain overlooked: shared meals, domestic rituals and the subtle spatial relationships that emerge through everyday life. Rather than understanding architecture solely through buildings, I am interested in the infrastructures of daily coexistence and in developing visual methods to document them.
This interest has led me to initiate Superficie Común, an ongoing research project exploring tables as spaces where relationships become visible through gestures, objects and time. The project brings together different media—including photography, filmed meals, observational writing and analytical drawing—to construct an evolving archive of everyday encounters.
Beyond my individual practice, I strongly believe in interdisciplinary collaboration. I am interested in working alongside artists, designers, filmmakers, researchers and architects, convinced that projects become richer when different ways of seeing and thinking intersect. Rather than pursuing fixed answers, I see research as a collective process of observation, exchange and continuous transformation.
I hope to build a practice where architecture is not limited to designing spaces, but also becomes a way of observing, representing and understanding the relationships that those spaces make possible.
Every shared meal depends on an unnoticed architecture: a surface that gathers bodies, distributes objects, supports gestures and allows relationships to unfold. Rather than understanding the table as furniture, the project approaches it as an active spatial device that organizes encounters, care, negotiation, conflict, waiting and celebration.
The research began through the observation of ordinary domestic situations. By photographing family gatherings, recording shared meals and writing field notes, I became interested in the subtle transformations that occur on the table over time. Glasses migrate across the surface, plates accumulate, bread circulates, conversations overlap and silences emerge. Long after people leave, the table continues to hold traces of what happened.
Through photography, filmed meals, observational writing and the development of a graphic notation system, Superficie Común builds an expanding archive of these everyday encounters. The project seeks to register relationships, rhythms and collective behaviours.
The proposal asks how architecture can develop new tools to observe and communicate the invisible structures of everyday coexistence. It proposes an open methodology that can continue evolving across different domestic, public and collective contexts.
Ultimately, Superficie Común understands architecture not only as the design of space, but also as a way of observing, recording and making visible the ordinary interactions through which space is continuously produced.
