The 39th edition of Casa FOA was a success with the public and architecture, Argentine design and culture were once again at the center of the scene
More than 83,000 people visited the exhibition, a record number since the pandemic.
Buenos Aires, October 26, 2023- There were 35 days of exhibition which had to be extended due to the number of people who visited it. Thus, the 39th edition of Casa FOA, the design, architecture and industry exhibition that promotes the culture of Argentine design, brought together 83,000 people who visited each space of the 4,500 m2 of the former Federal Tiro building declared a National Historical Monument.
This year's motto was “design communicates,” which guided the entire imprint of the exhibition where sensory and visual messages were implicit in each design decision. Special aromas, modern designs, a formidable rationalist architecture from 1937 and even an unpublished mural by Benito Quinquela Martin were the milestones that accompanied the success of this great edition.
On the night of Friday, October 20, the last day of Casa FOA Innovation Park, a closing event was held and it was announced that in 2024 a double anniversary will be held for the 40 years of Casa FOA and the 60 years of the Fundación Oftalmológica Argentina . At the same time, the launch of the second federal edition was carried out in the province of Córdoba, which will be in April 2024, in the Pocito project, a large-scale mixed-use complex from the Córdoba developer Proaco.
The designers of the 2023 edition participated in the party, as well as the developers Alejandro Gawiansky, from HIT Group, the Espacio Udaondo team - both had spaces in the exhibition - and the representatives of Casa Historica, who will be in charge of the next refunctionalization of the former Federal Tire building.
Work is already underway for the call for the Cordoba edition and the confirmation of the Buenos Aires headquarters for next year.
