A course by Juan Manuel Rossi
During his time building houses, Juan Rossi learned the importance of materials. They must be strong, but also beautiful. Through a seemingly infinite search, he eventually found the perfect union in hydraulic tiles, thanks to their incredible durability and aesthetic qualities.
