This interplay of height, transparency and patterns of light and shade adds mysticism, and alludes to pagan rituals celebrated in such inviting, yet dangerous, woods.

Bolivar, designed by the architectural firm Hitzig Militello Arquitectos, is a housing project located in the neighborhood of San Telmo.
