Carlos Albert ‘Tito’ Morales was born in Argentina, in 1930. Details of his early education are not yet known to us but by the mid-1950s he was developing a reputation as a young, modernist architect in the Misiones region of Argentina. His major projects from this period include the Terminal De Eldorado (1956) and the Mercado Modelo de la Primera Unidad Vecinal, in Posadas (1958-62) – the latter project in collaboration with a number of other practices. In 1966-67 he is recorded as having travelled to the UK and enrolled in the postgraduate ‘Educational Building’ course run by the Architectural Association’s (AA) Department of Tropical Studies. He successfully completed his studies and graduated with an AA postgraduate Diploma in Tropical Studies. By 1969 he appears to have returned to Posadas, Misiones. Tito went on to play a profoundly important role in the regional cultural scene, serving as Director of Culture for the Misiones province, founding the Amigos del Arte group and actively promoting the theatrical and musical arts. In addition to his cultural role, Tito was a Professor at the National University of Misiones, Posadas, where he also held the position of Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. In 2009 he was awarded the status of ‘Ciudadano Ilustre’ of Posada.
