It is a free-perimeter, cylindrical structure that became a landmark in Buenos Aires, where it is known as “El Rulero”.[3] She was also one of the designers of the ATC Argentina Televisora Color, a building that explored the link between technology and landscape with the urban public space.[4] She also led the team that designed Evoque Olazabal, a building noted for its curved shape.[5] Her work on the Banco Municipal de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires is considered part the projects that represent the new generation of architectural design in Argentina.[6]
