Estudio Galera is dedicated to the design, management and construction of architectural constructions providing complete solutions and appropriate responses to challenges. In this sense, the architectural studio becomes the right place to reformulate conventional issues related to architecture considering the environment, climate, economic and personal factors that might affect those people who will inhabit those places.
The methodology consists of the collection of data and analysis of the problem from different points of view towards ensuring the best results. Thus, the teamwork allows orderly planning and optimization of the resources.

The structural experimentation , adaptation to the natural topography, and search for an expressive and functional architecture are the concerns that govern our philosophy and methodology.

1. Preliminary Design

Exchange of views
with the Client and
the architect´s proposal

(The stages may vary according to the importance of the project) Based on the data of the site, orientation, elevation, studies on the location of trees, the program requirements (upon the client´s request and suggestions) the architect starts working on the decision he considers to be the most appropriate. There is an active interchange of views with the client and the design is reinforced by evaluating the site and the construction methods to complete the work. At this stage the basic and primary documentation are made: plans, sections, views, digital mock-ups and video.

2. Project

In Every
Single Detail

The preliminary design is reinforced by working out the details of construction, elaborating the construction logs, structure drawings, redesign, carpentry drawings, installation plans. The team works together with the engineers to obtain structures, thermal calculations and electrical sizing. In addition, calculations are made to define the budget of materials and the unions involved.

3. Management

Submission of
Documents

Necessary documentation must be submitted before different control bodies to obtain all the building permits and service connection. (College of Architects, municipalities, energy agencies).

4. Project Management

Start up

The correct completion of all construction processes is verified. In this phase the construction is periodically monitored, the quality of the materials used and the construction based on the schedule are controlled. The construction management is related to the logistics and resolution of tasks on the site and verification that the methods used are those contained in the project drawings. This task involves taking responsibility and acting as a mediator with the clients and agencies.

Talk in “Day C” – Mar del Plata

13.09.2019 - Talk in the framework of the "Day C" event, organized by the conduction of the student center of the Faculty of Architecture, Urbanism and Design - MdP.

In parallel there was an exhibition of plates and models of finished and running works. The talk was given in a workshop, it was very decontracted and allowed a fluid exchange. I hope it has been useful for Mardel students who do so much for us, we have a great time. Many thanks to “El Hormiguero Faud Unmdp” for the invitation.
