In 1960, the Universidad de Buenos Aires commissioned architect Wladimiro Acosta the study and architectural project for the construction of a housing complex to be constructed in Isla Maciel, a district in Buenos Aires where the people of "villa miseria" lived in miserable and marginal conditions. The idea resulted in the pilot project known as Collective Housing Villa Maciel constructed in 1961 and included the participation of 5 students (now architects) from the Faculty of Architecture René Dunowicz, Arnoldo Gaite, Julio Ladizesky, Rubén Mova and Javier Sánchez Gómez. The project comprised simple design and material elements of easy maintenance, open terraces for each house and independence between each unit.
