City of Buenos Aires(27 images)
Descriptive images of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
  • Floralis Generica..Also known as that big friggin metal flower. This is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina in a large park on Figueroa Alcorta avenue near the Channel 7 studios and the National University of law. If you travel by bus or taxi for a few days, you cannot miss it. It's a huge metal flower that opens and closes in time with the sun. During the day it's wide open, and in the evening, it closes almost all of the way, except for brightly colored lights meant to represent the stamen and pistels. One of my big regrets from this past trip is that I wasn't able to snap a photo of it at night, as it's a beautiful sight. By photographer Tommy Abad

  • Buenos Aires' Design Center and Centro Cultural Recoleta .Center of decoration and art of Buenos Aires, Argentina...a shoping mall dedicated to home design and home decoration builded from the ruins of the Recoletos Monastery<br />
<br />
 Since its recent inception in the 80's, the Centro Cultural Recoleta has become one of the city's most important resources. The center is housed in a former convent and is conveniently located just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Recoleta Cemetery. The inside of the building has been gutted and renovated to include large, modern exhibition halls with rotating and exceptional exhibits (check website for details). There is also a cinema and a large auditorium, which hosts events for the Tango Festival when it rolls around. Upstairs scores of enthusiastic children enjoy the hands-on Museo Participativo de Ciencias.<br />
<br />
Continuing renovation can be slightly distracting to one's visit but this is a wonderful and important facility for the city and a shameless bargain at the cost of $1AR donation for entry. The art exhibitions are culturally relevant and well-chosen as are the continuing cinematic programs. The Center is worth visiting if for no other reason than to support its wonderful contribution to the culture of Buenos Aires. By photographer Tommy Abad
