Curators Talk + Q&A with Studio Muoto / On the Horizon: Amancio Williams

A talk by Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau of Studio Muoto for the opening of the first instalment of the Out of the Box series dedicated to the work of Argentinian architect Amancio Williams (1913–1989), a key figure in modern architecture in South America. Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau of Studio Muoto explore the infrastructural dimensions of Williams’ work, with a focus on his unrealized projects for an airport on the coast of Buenos Aires (1945) and the church Cruz en el Río de la Plata (1978‒1980), both of which establish a dialogue with the horizon. While the drawings of these projects primarily depict them as buildings, Williams’s writings situate them as infrastructure designed to operate at an urban and territorial scale. Their reading of the archive emphasizes Williams’s belief that modernity, and the engineering advances it enabled, would have the capacity to elevate humanity.
