Lanus, Provinicia de Buenos Aires

The project is located in Villa Jardín, in the municipality of Lanús, on the banks of the Riachuelo River, on a site formerly occupied by Fabricaciones Militares. The area is currently undergoing a major transformation: the existing structures on the site are being repurposed into buildings for a school, a high school, and a kindergarten, consolidating a new educational hub. Numerous housing projects are under construction or have recently been completed on the neighboring plots. The newly inaugurated Lacarra Bridge, which crosses the Riachuelo, now connects the neighborhood directly with the City of Buenos Aires.
A vaulted structure measuring twenty meters wide and seventy meters long is currently located on the site assigned to the ICCE. The vault is made of hollow bricks, rests on concrete beams and columns, and reaches a height of fifteen meters.

The project was awarded first prize in the “Building for the Joint Institute of Strategic Leadership” (ICCE) competition, organized by the Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Urbanism (FADU) of the University of Buenos Aires in November 2017, as part of an agreement between FADU and the National Ministry of Security. The institute’s objective is to contribute to the professionalization, integration, and joint development of the training of senior leadership within the Federal Forces, Provincial Police, and public officials from both National and Provincial administrations involved in the implementation of security policies, by promoting a program of academic excellence and high standards. To that end, the proposed building includes classrooms of various sizes, a 200-seat auditorium, a library, laboratories, and simulated crime scene training areas. The laboratories are designed for training in security technology and various scientific and forensic disciplines, such as toxicological sample analysis, biological sample analysis, ballistics, accident reconstruction, entomology, fingerprint analysis, acoustics, and voice analysis. The simulated crime scene spaces—one indoor and one outdoor—allow for the recreation of real-life conditions that members of the security forces will be required to analyze.
