MAPA is the fusion of MAAM and STUDIOPARALELO. They are two architecture studios that have become a binational collective driven by continuous exploration and that are searching for the relevant in the disciplinary and academic fields. MAPA is formed by Luciano Andrades, Matías Carballal, Rochelle Castro, Andrés Gobba, Mauricio López, Silvio Machado.
STUDIOPARALELO and MAAM ARCHITECTS were born as independent architecture offices in this century's first decade. In 2008 they began to share commissions and won several awards and competitions, as well as participation in exhibitions and biennials. After five years of partnership, they merged both studies, establishing offices in Porto Alegre, Brazil and Montevideo, Uruguay.
