In the early 21st century, China witnessed a remarkable surge in museum construction. Cities blossomed under the banner of cultural revival, historical reimagination, and social care, shaping a new international vision for the nation’s urban landscape. Over the past two decades—marked by monumental events like the Beijing Olympics, the Shanghai World Expo, the Hangzhou Asian Games, and the global pandemic—Chinese cities have transformed. The towering architecture that once symbolized progress has evolved into a more humanistic, life-centered, artistic, and socially conscious approach to urban regeneration.

MALBA PUERTOS, the new outpost of the capital institution in Escobar, is not a typical museum but a combination of architectural and landscape actions aimed at creating a gravitational center for artistic and cultural life in the northern region of Buenos Aires Province. At MALBA PUERTOS, three unavoidable interests converge to understand the course of the present: art as a mechanism for questioning the contradictions of the times we live in; the fragility of nature as the basis of our relationship with the world; and attention to communities whose histories, often ignored by the orthodox cultural environment, must be rewritten.

Moreover, it is not just a place to listen to sound; it is an architectural instrument that returns humans to a natural state, allowing them to experience the five senses of the body.

The “Museo Vivo Interactivo Yatiyawi” is designed to house exhibitions and workshops, providing new spaces for the El Getsemaní foundation, an organization that works with children and adolescents in the periurban neighborhood of Tilata. This neighborhood is part of the outskirts of the La Paz-El Alto metropolitan area, at an altitude of approximately 3920 meters above sea level. The urban sprawl that is transforming the landscape of Tilata can also be described in material terms, as earthen buildings, witnesses of a recent rural past, are rapidly being replaced by concrete and brick constructions.
