The La Plata River Basin is the world’s largest drinking water reservoir, the second largest basin in South America, the connection between five countries, and the supplier of the largest global food production center. This project registers the different constructive layers that give existence to the basin, from its geologic origin to its interlacing ecosystems and historic formation. In a changing world where basins are key, architecture can provide tools for its understanding and prospection. These characteristics are not random: they are the fruit of human and nonhuman ecosystems and historical construction processes. Articulations, assemblies, superpositions, symmetries, structures, redesigns, and patterns are thought models that architecture and its spatial knowledge can give to the new hybrid world of geo-bio-historical urbanism.
