Edificio Movimiento, Rationalist building in Villa 31, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Edificio Movimiento is a rationalist residential building in Villa 31 that uses vertical lines and geometric forms to maximize space efficiently. The facade displays clean, functional elements without unnecessary decoration, typical of the architectural approach from this era.
The building emerged during a period when Buenos Aires shifted from low, scattered structures to taller, densely settled residential forms. This transformation was part of a broader movement in the city embracing modern construction techniques and European architectural ideas.
The building sits within Villa 31 and demonstrates how residents adapted modern design principles to densely populated urban spaces. Its name reflects the movement and energy of the neighborhood, visible in how the architecture flows and connects.
The building is well connected by public transport and sits in an area with good pedestrian infrastructure. It is worth exploring the neighborhood on foot to understand how this structure relates to its immediate surroundings.
The building stands in Villa 31, an area long considered an informal settlement, while the structure itself was an early example of planned, modern housing. This tension between designed architecture and the neighborhood's organic growth gives the location particular complexity.
