From May 20 to 21, 2023, the Open House architecture and urbanism festival will take place in the city of Rosario, opening the doors of 98 architectural works alongside 8 urban tours to discover and rediscover the city's architecture and urban design. For its sixth edition, this year's festival aims to venture deep into the heart of the city—the home—applying an urban approach committed to the individual and collective memory of the city and its residents, merging tangible built heritage with the traces of time.
Directed and organized by OHACHE, Open House Rosario offers the opportunity to tour and visit a selection of private and public buildings of cultural, historical, heritage, and architectural value for free. These spaces, which are typically closed to the general public, will not require prior registration for this edition. The tours will be led by volunteers, professionals, and owners who will accompany visitors, sharing stories, anecdotes, and personal experiences of each space.
Understanding architecture as a city builder and a shared heritage, this new edition of Open House Rosario features a series of memory-themed urban tours through various sites across the city where architecture played a key role during the darkest period of Argentine history. These include Barrio Parque, Barrio Echesortu, Arq. Ermete De Lorenzi, Galerías, Oroño and Parque Independencia, Pichincha, Puerto Norte, and Paseo del Siglo. Additionally, the event honors Rosario architect Ermete de Lorenzi (1900-1971), prominent for his work in both public and private sectors. During the festival nights, light installations will also be featured on public and participating buildings.
The opening dates and hours for each site will be published on the festival's website and on its Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook accounts. See below for the complete list of participating projects in Open House Rosario 2023.
