Parque de la Memoria catalog
The Parque de la Memoria – Monumento a las Víctimas del Terrorismo de Estado, also known in English as Remembrance park, is a public space situated in front of the Río de la Plata estuary in Buenos Aires. It is a memorial to the victims of the 1976–83 military regime, a period of unprecedented state-sponsored violence in Argentina.
This post shows images from the park’s general catalog, or catalogo institucional. Just like the visual identity, the bilingual publication (Spanish and English) was designed by Estudio Lo Bianco, Buenos Aires, using Perec and the stencil styles from Perec Ludique (PampaType, 2010–2020). Perec serves in several of its ten styles, supported by Perec Ludique Pochoir for chapter titles, headings, drop caps, and other display use. Some of the longer texts are set in the seriffed Borges (PampaType, 2004). First published in 2010, a second edition of the catalog was issued in 2017. You can download a pdf from the official website, or flip through it on Issuu.
