BALSA CROSETTO PIAZZI is an architectural practice based in Córdoba, Argentina, and
Boston, USA. Established in 2015, it is led by Juan Manuel Balsa, Rocío Crosetto Brizzio and
Leandro Piazzi.
The studio’s inquiry centers on architecture’s material realm and its capacity to reshape reality
through building. Each commission is treated as a platform that orchestrates the cycles of
materials, people, ecologies, knowledge, and resources involved in construction. For Balsa
Crosetto Piazzi, projects are opportunities to redesign and deconstruct entrenched conditions,
fostering alternative construction methods and production logics.
Notable recognition includes the Architectural League of New York Prize 2025, Short‐listing for
the Lisbon Triennale Debut Award 2025, and selection as Argentina’s representative at the Latin
American Architecture Biennial (BAL 2025). The office has also won first prizes for the
restoration of Banco Nación’s headquarters in Buenos Aires, Plaza Manuel Belgrano in
Córdoba, and the IX BIAU Pavilion in Rosario. Its work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture
Biennale 2023 and 2025, the Ibero‐American Architecture Biennial, Chicago Architecture Biennial, and Madrid’s Colegio de
Arquitectos (COAM), among others.
Balsa Crosetto Piazzi has taught studios and seminars at institutions including MIT, Columbia
GSAPP, RISD, Virginia Tech, RPI, Syracuse University, IUAV Venice, Universidad Andres Bello,
Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, and Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
