DOARQS is an independent editorial and research platform based in Buenos Aires dedicated to the production of knowledge around architecture and the built environment.

It develops research-driven projects through publications, exhibitions, and curatorial initiatives that investigate modern and contemporary architecture as a cultural and material practice. Through documentation, critical analysis, and editorial work, DOARQS constructs new readings of architecture, understanding buildings not only as designed objects but as the result of technical, economic, and cultural processes that shape the city.

The platform focuses particularly on architecture built in Buenos Aires, approaching it as part of a broader international architectural culture. By examining local works within global disciplinary conversations, DOARQS seeks to reposition overlooked buildings, documents, and practices within contemporary debates on housing, urban form, construction, and material culture.

Operating in continuity with the professional practice developed through the architecture studio MOARQS, while maintaining its own autonomy, DOARQS develops long-term research projects that extend beyond individual commissions. Its work includes the production of books, editorial formats, exhibitions, and digital publications that contribute to the expansion and dissemination of architectural knowledge.

Founded in 2023 and directed by architect Ignacio Montaldo, DOARQS functions as a platform for independent research and collaborative cultural production, fostering connections between professional practice, academia, and editorial work across local and international contexts.
