Mónica Bertolino

Mónica Bertolino, (born July 12, 1957), is an Argentine architect, owner of the Estudio Bertolino-Barrado architecture office, dedicated to the production of architectural, urban and landscape design works of various scales from 1981 to date, developed in the Argentine provinces of Córdoba, Santa Fe, San Juan and Jujuy and in Spain. The studio obtained the Diploma to the Merit - Architecture 2002-2006 in Visual Arts in the Konex Awards 2012.[1][2]

First years

Mónica Bertolino was born in Córdoba, Argentina. Her father was an architect. She enterd the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the National University of Córdoba during the last year of the Taller Total and going through critical moments of the Argentine dictatorship of 1976: assemblies, street fights and comrades disappeared. She graduated in 1981.[3] She recognizes as references Santiago Kunzle, for his integral way of conceiving design, César Naselli for his theoretical contributions to the project and Miguel Ángel Roca for his great trajectory and the literary references he used in his classes.

Professional career

Miguel Ángel Roca invites her to work in his studio in her last studies year and there Bertolino meets Marina Waisman. She later participates in the Postgraduate course Preservación de ella (about perservation if the Latin American architecture), with the attendance of personalities as Silvia Arango and Ruth Verde Zein.

In Miguel Ángel Roca's studio meets Carlos Barrado, her life and work companion. In partnership with him, she has created single-family and collective dwellings, commercial premises, institutional buildings, proposals for urban intervention and urban and landscape design. She has participated in numerous competitions (private and public, national, provincial, international). The works by Bertolino and Barrado stand out for their great sensitivity to the landscape and the materials[4] and for the understanding of the constructive possibilities of the environment in which they work.

The recovery of public spaces in the urban periphery of Cordoba during the administration of Mayor Rubén Martí between 1991-1999, whose Director of Green Zones was Carlos Barrado, is relevant. Parks and small squares are resolved with great inventiveness by reusing elements that were in disuse in the municipal sheds.
