| Summary: | Once Buenos Aires was defined as the permanent seat of the National Capital in 1880, numerous physical interventions were initiated that radically transformed its image: the opening and widening of streets and avenues, the extension of electrification and the transportation networks were built at the same time as the construction of administrative buildings intended to house the powers of the National State.In relation to architecture there were, on the one hand, state programs – government offices, schools, hospitals- and, on the other hand, private architecture - business enterprises, tertiary buildings and commercial services - born as a result of the modernization and metropolization of the city that was incorporated like one more node to the world-wide metropolitan network. After reconsidering historiographical positions and investigating diverse sources, the work proposes to think of the great private architectures as banks of technical, typological and linguistic explorations and as objects that, as a whole, had a determining role in the construction of an image of Buenos Aires as National Capital and as modern metropolis. |
