The Obelisk, by Obelisc by Alberto Prebisch, rises like a needle pinned into the city’s pulse, a fixed point in the midst of vertigo. Around it, Buenos Aires breathes like in The City of Fury, song by Soda, nocturnal, electric, always on the edge of something it can’t quite name. There’s a silent paradox in that vertical stone, it is a monument and a witness, permanence in a city that unravels and reinvents itself with every dawn.
The Obelisk does not speak, but it insists. It is an axis that doesn’t bring order, but reminds us that even at the center there is disorientation. And so, between horns and ghosts, the fury is not noise but a heartbeat. The city spins, and the Obelisk remains, not as certainty, but as a question: what does it mean to stay standing when everything around you is escape?

Stepping into El Ateneo Grand Splendid feels almost like entering a theater. It’s not just about buying books, but about wandering through a space that still holds the grandeur of the early twentieth century.
The building was once the Grand Splendid Theatre, inaugurated in 1919, and its dome—painted by the Italian artist Nazareno Orlandi—still draws the eye upward in quiet awe.
One can’t help but wonder what Jorge Luis Borges would think of the crowds that now flood the place, people who come only to snap a photo, without even pausing to leaf through a book in such a majestic bookstore.
Even so, the architectural ensemble is breathtaking. While I was there, I picked up a copy of The Gardener of Death by Gosponidov.
December 2025, BA.

Beneath the surface of Buenos Aires, time doesn’t stop, it arranges itself.
Concrete corridors, endless repetition, names turning into echoes. Here, brutalism isn’t just an aesthetic: it’s a way of accepting the inevitable.
No ornament, no distraction, only matter, weight, and memory.
Sixth Mausoleum of Chacarita Cemetery, an underground necropolis built from the late 1940s, design by architect Ítala Fulvia Villa.

The Biblioteca Nacional Mariano Moreno doesn’t try to be pretty, and that’s exactly why it stands out. It’s all raw concrete: heavy, elevated, almost floating. A building that reveals everything, its structure, its weight, how it’s made. Nothing is hidden.
Designed by Clorindo Testa col with Alicia Cazzaniga y Francisco Bullrich, it offers a different way of experiencing architecture. You enter from below and move upward, as if the journey itself reflects the act of searching, reading, understanding.
It’s not comfortable or conventional, but it makes you think. And sometimes, that’s what matters most. Buenos Aires, Desember 2025.

The magic of nature. Railay Beach March 2026.
Every morning, very early, the monkeys that live freely around Railay Beach(Krabi) passed by us as if following an invisible avenue. Some even stopped to visit us. They feed mainly on leaves and young shoots. The view from our balcony was incredible, an unpretentious hotel, but with all the amenities, right by the sea.

Escaping the sweltering heat and suffocating humidity of Bangkok, We stepped into Dib (raw) BKK, and it instantly felt like a breath of fresh air but just inside 😊
The original building was an industrial steel warehouse from the 1980s, and the intervention was an adaptive reuse project by architect Kulapat Yantrasast, WHY Architecture & col. A49 architects.
In the inner courtyard, the Alicja Kwade
sculptures steal the show… glowing under the sun and almost too hot to touch, literally.
And straight up a James Turells permanent installation.

Buddha study. A couple of days ago, in the middle of Bangkok’s heat, maybe around 35°C, I visited Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen. Right next to Wat Paknam stands one of the most impressive Buddhas in Bangkok, rises about 69 meters high and nearly 40 meters wide.
From a distance you can already see the giant golden Buddha rising above the neighborhood, almost watching quietly over the city. When you get close, and especially when you stand right below it. It’s massive, but at the same time there’s something calm about it.

A night in Bangkok. Chinatown or Yaowarat with crazy streets filled with neon lights, steaming stalls on every corner, and a perhaps perfectly organized chaos that envelops you from the first step. Amazing flavors, colors, full of noise, taxis, honking tuk-tuks, and a bit of a crazy crowd. I love Chinatown.
At historic neighborhood of Phra Nakhon, is one on my fav bars in BKK, Ku Bar.
At Talat Noi, Charmkrung @charmkrung trendy yet cozy restaurant with really good modern traditional Thai food and PrumPlum, a umeshu bar and dining rest with a kindly service by Tem & Way @prumplum.umeshuu

Recap at Rio de Janeiro November 2025.
That’s Rio de Janeiro: spiritual from the heights of Christ, vibrant in its streets and eternal in its celebration. A city where music isn’t just heard… it’s lived.
Amazing Samba Pedra do Sal 🗽
