MAPA Architects (mapaarq.com) it's a binational collective that works on architectural projects in Brazil and Uruguay. From this double geographical condition, MAPA explores the limits of non-conventional production formats. The studio has originally established itself from professional and academic grounds: two complementary fields that create and shape our work.

Studio Paralelo was a Brazilian architectural practice founded in 2002, based in Porto Alegre. MAAM was a Uruguayan architectural practice founded in 2003, based in Montevideo. In 2013, both practices fusioned in a unique entity called MAPA.
