Argentinian architect Adolfo Luis Moure Strangis has a passion for designing machine-like, labyrinthine spatial constructions. His work can be seen as architecturally analogous to Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges's famed literary experiments. Architect and academic Bea Martin uses some of Borges's iconic texts to interrogate Moure Strangis's architectural and narrative intentions - bringing layers of meaning, time and multiple pathways to the featured works. Throughout it all, the spectre of the machine is always present.
