An architect’s trips
Keywords:
architectural trip, student, professional, taleAbstract
This article’s goal is to rebuild and analyze architect Hector Morixe’s trips as a student and as a professional during his life, using the documents that exist in his professional archive, donated by his family to the Instituto de Arte Americano e Investigaciones Estéticas that belongs to the Facultad de Arquitectura, Diseño y Urbanismo at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (IAA-FADU-UBA). From this research, some questions appear that form the structure of this article. The following triggering questions are asked: Have the many trips in different stages of his life been determinant in his perspective as a person and as an architect? What was his experience in coming in contact with other realities and cultures? And finally, how did Morixe become a “Witness author” of his trips by preparing trips for his students?
