During the March–August 2024 public program, Violeta Mastronardi served as Research Collaborator at the Centro de Estudios de Arquitectura Contemporánea (CEAC) of the Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, working under the direction of Javier Agustín Rojas. Her role encompassed the coordination, production, and dissemination of CEAC’s public activities, including lectures, book presentations, exhibitions, and academic discussions. The program featured contributions from architects, historians, and theorists such as Cristiane Muniz, Beatriz Colomina, Patricio del Real, Daniele Pisani, Shantel Blakely, and Fabio Grementieri. The program also included the Buenos Aires iteration of Foodscapes, curated by Eduardo Castillo-Vinuesa and Manuel Ocaña, accompanied by a public series of lectures and roundtables with Uriel Fogué, María Charneco, and Alfredo Lérida. Additional activities included lectures by the Swiss practices Comte/Meuwly and Karamuk Kuo, as well as the continuation of the lecture series El trabajo de los demás, featuring a presentation by Antonio Carrasco.
Mastronardi supervised interns, coordinated exhibition production and on-site assembly, managed content creation and public outreach, and oversaw the publication and dissemination of materials associated with the program. In parallel, she contributed to the writing of grant proposals, coordinated exhibition production, and oversaw the publication of event content, including post-event documentation and recordings. Her involvement reinforced CEAC’s commitment to international disciplinary exchange and to positioning architectural research as a public, accessible, and critically engaged practice.
