Puntas Carretas Memorial / TATU Arquitectura + Federeico Lapeye + Fw

IntroThroughout the history of humanity, the table has played a fundamental role in many aspects, acquiring a great cultural value and being the stage of infinite uses and activities. Many of the great events have been and will continue to be recorded around a table: The instructions of the year XIII were drafted and signed on the table of the general constituent assembly; republican democracy materializes at the polling stations, great stories of love and friends arise at a bar table; and the family gathers around the table on Sundays for lunch and sharing. The table with its historical genealogy, is no stranger to the different moments that have left important traces in the history of man; to reflect on the affective power of this object is to build spaces where different ways of living, being and being with others can be displayed.
