The 2023‒2024 Out of the Box exhibition series is dedicated to the work of Amancio Williams (1913‒1989), one of the key figures of modern architecture in Latin America. The vast output of projects and proposals produced by his office over several decades from the 1940s through 1980s is evidenced through an expansive archive—of drawings, photographs, correspondence, and models—donated to the CCA by the Williams family in 2020.
Curators of all three exhibitions were present at CCA for a panel discussion. Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen, the architects Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau of Studio Muoto (Paris), the historian Claudia Shmidt (Buenos Aires), and Claudio Williams (Buenos Aires), son of Amancio Williams, will share their different readings and perspectives on the architect’s work and archives.
