The Mendoza School of Architecture, located at Dr. Emilio Descotte 750, Mendoza, Argentina, was designed by Italian architect Enrico Tedeschi and constructed between 1962 and 1964. The building features a prefabricated concrete structure that serves as an external shell, integrating the entire building's design, including structure, envelope, solar control, language, and functionality. Its design emphasizes sunlight, ventilation, and urban visual perspectives, reflecting Tedeschi's meticulous study of the local landscape. In 2015, it was selected for the exhibition "Latin America in Construction: Architecture 1955 to 1980" at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. (archdaily.com)
