  • Abstract
    The last decade of the 20th century saw the birth and development of a district that today is positioned as the arrowhead of a city that seduces and enchants everyone who visits it. Puerto Madero acts as a powerful magnet because of the combination of Río de la Plata (Silver River) luxury and sophistication, along with an undercurrent of magnificent architecture and the most refined eating establishments. Its port distinguishes it from other city quarters and offers an interesting view. Alongside historic harbor structures are beautiful high-rise buildings that seem to reach for the skies, where important corporations gather. These towers were built by renowned architects and designers in styles different from what can be found in the rest of the city, although the buildings do not always respect the original design and intent of the district.
