Laboratorio de Arquitectura and José Cubilla are Paraguayan architects whose work combines experimentation, tradition, and regional identity. Javier Corvalán Espínola, trained in Asunción and Rome, is a professor at Paraguay’s top universities and a visiting professor at IUAV in Venice. His practice explores structural innovation rooted in local materials. José Cubilla, also a professor in Asunción, emphasizes cultural relevance, refined construction, and social connection. His projects—including the Valois and San Francisco buildings—have received honors from UNESCO, the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize, and several Ibero-American Biennials. Together, they represent a critical voice in South American architecture, committed to work that is contemporary yet grounded in place and craft.
