We start from considering that the Buenos Aires Zoo was formed from its beginnings by the conjunction of five programmatic dimensions: aesthetics, entertainment, educational-didactic, scientific and productive. Throughout its history, these dimensions intertwined, interposed, prevailed over each other; but never disappeared. We understand that this multidimensional character places it as a significant and relevant object of study to broaden the view on the urban history of Buenos Aires. The work focuses on the stages of creation, consolidation and popularization of this urban-architectural space, which comprises the management periods of its first four directors.

En el presente artículo efectuamos una revisión histórico-crítica del sitio Jardín Zoológico de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires a partir de la observación de su programa institucional. Partimos de considerar que el zoo porteño estuvo conformado desde sus comienzos por la conjunción de cinco dimensiones programáticas: la estética, la del entretenimiento, la educativo-didáctica, la científica y la productiva. A lo largo de su historia, estas dimensiones se entrelazaron, se interpusieron, prevalecieron unas sobre otras; pero nunca desaparecieron. Entendemos que este carácter multidimensional lo ubica como un objeto de estudio significativo y relevante para ampliar la mirada sobre la historia urbana porteña. El trabajo se centra en las etapas de creación, consolidación y popularización de este espacio urbano-arquitectónico, que comprende los períodos de gestión de sus cuatro primeros directores.
