Balsa Crosetto Piazzi and Giorgis Ortiz

Córdoba, Argentina and Boston, United States

Founded in 2015 by Juan Manuel Balsa, Rocío Crosetto Brizzio, and Leandro Piazzi, Balsa Crosetto Piazzi is an architecture studio focused on materiality and building’s transformative power. Each project acts as a platform to reconfigure relationships between materials, people, ecologies, and resources. Their work has received the Architectural League Prize (2025) and been shortlisted for the Lisbon Triennale Debut Award. They represented Argentina at BAL 2025 and won competitions for Banco Nación’s restoration and Plaza Manuel Belgrano in Córdoba. Their work has been shown at the Venice Biennale (2023, 2025) and BIAU. The partners have taught at MIT, Columbia GSAPP, RISD, and other leading institutions across the Americas and Europe.
