IR Arquitectura is not just a studio; it defines itself as a platform for exploration that integrates architectural practice with tangential topics such as the city, landscape, technology, and sustainability. Founded by Luciano Intile and Enrico Cavaglià, and based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, IR Arquitectura is an interdisciplinary collective comprising architects, designers, and professionals from various fields. Together, they tackle projects of varying scales and natures, seizing each opportunity to explore new solutions and strategies for contemporary living, particularly in urban contexts and in close connection with the environment.
The path of IR Arquitectura has been shaped by projects developed by both founding partners, along with other members of the studio. Enrico Cavaglià, born in Turin, Italy, is an architect from the Politecnico di Torino and earned a dual degree at the University of Buenos Aires. Luciano Intile, on the other hand, is an architect from the Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Urbanism at the University of Buenos Aires and holds a Master’s in Advanced Architectural Design from ETSAM in Madrid. Both have complemented their practice with teaching roles at institutions such as the Torcuato Di Tella University and the University of Buenos Aires, as well as serving as advisors in government units in the city of Buenos Aires. Their work has been recognized at events like the X Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (2016) and the Latin American Architecture Biennial (2019). Recently, their project La Terencia was exhibited at the latest edition of the Venice Biennale.
