The other night I went to the faculty of architecture to see a friend. It was final results day for the current module so everyone in the year was in for feedback and results. (5th year) The building is on a big campus, 30mins outside town in a huge concrete building. Like everything else in Argentina, it started late, crits normally happen between 7 and 11pm. So i arrive at about 8 and see some reviews (not that i understood a word) but he translates now and then.
All the main teaching rooms come off of this atrium which is where the cafe and shops are. (Theres a print shop, stationary shop, model shop etc) There are these huge posters hanging from from the balconies, as i understand it political mostly. The huge white poster which takes up all of one end is dedicated to the friends of the faculty who were taken and murdered during the dirty war. it reads "compañeros de la FADU detenidos desaparecidos y asesinados por el terrorismo de estao, Siempre Presente" -Friends of FADU detained, dissapeared and assasinated for the terrorism of the state, always present.
