From a long-term perspective, and within the framework of a broad debate that addresses the issue of urban periphery configuration: “diffuse city” (INDOVINA, 1990), “between-cities” (SIEVERTS, 2003), this article interrogates the process of configuring residential low density tissues in the metropolitan area of ​​Buenos Aires. The historical reading of the configuration and the physical change of these pieces, in relation to their edge areas will allow to answer the following questions: what are the characteristic features defined on these pieces and how they extended - or not - over the adjacent areas? What happens to these areas when they are "traversed" by expansive processes within new logic? From the analysis of a case, the contribution of this work is recognized on two levels: first, from its methodological novelty, which links the construction of interpretive cartographies of the territory with historical research to deploy new questions that exceed the visions more general and allow to recognize the finest yarn and realize how large areas of Greater Buenos Aires are built at the plot level. Secondly, this perspective allowed us to account for the times of the territory and the sum of projects, ideas and actors that meet and follow each other, not always in a linear way, acting in the same space.
