I'm gonna post some buildings designed by the late Argentine architect Alejandro Bustillo
Bristol Complex in Mar del Plata
Central Bank of the Nation in Buenos Aires
Llao Llao Hotel and the church of Our Lady of Nahuel Huapi in Bariloche.
Bustillo was the grandson of the Businessman Eduardo Madero, who was the project manager of Puerto Madero (Madero Port) the main port in Buenos Aires. The old Puerto Madero is now a tourist zone with many restaurants, the Buenos Aires Hilton is located there and if you stay on that zone you can walk a few blocks until Plaza de Mayo and visit the Casa Rosada, no need for a taxi.

You can really see just how rich Argentina was compared to the rest of the world for much of its history here. Very pretty, 🥰

Bonus from Buenos Aires, the Palacio Paz which belonged to 19th and early 20th century media Mogul José Paz. The building currently belongs to the "Círculo Militar", a club for Argentine military officers.
