Landscape and/or urban context of your case

This terrace is situated in San Telmo neighbourhood,Buenos Aires city, Argentina. This neighbourghood is one of the emblematic places in the city because it´s where the city was founded and started its urban development. It´s characterized by XIX and early XX century spanish and italian style architecture. As it is near the port, many factories were stablished by that time. Nowadays, the use is changing. Many factories have closed. Because of its historical and architectural interest many buildings have been refurbished and have change their use. This is the case of Canale building that was originally a cookies factory and now it works as an office building. Another important topic to emphasize is that this building is also infront of an important park in the city, "Lezama Park". This public park is also an antique spot in the city. The building project take into account the construction of several terraces in all their seven floors. In order to achieve the objectives of this assignment we decided to work with the terrace located in the 5th floor. It´s placed in a commercial offices floor, so it can be used by workers during luch time or just to have a break during work.
