Plataforma Arquitectura

This might as well be the holy grail of Latin American contemporary architecture. Plataforma Arquitectura and its sister site Plataforma Urbana, which focuses more on urban issues, could be the South American equivalent of archinect and it is no surprise that both sites are based in Santiago, Chile. The site's collaborators have profiled many projects, in and outside Latin America.The quantity and quality of the images the include with the projects is well above average. The site's text is in Spanish, so it is a good opportunity to start honing your skills and get more into arquitectura than architecture. I will be posting specific building profiles as the semester progresses.
