Herrera On the avenue, in barracks, lies the complex of buildings that are characterized by multi-colored facade and that gives the neighborhood a certain uniqueness. The artist Perez Celis has his studio there and is mainly occupied by offices.
A note of Clarín (06/25/2007) synthesizes a real estate development, unlike other neighborhoods, recycling buildings instead of destroying old and build new, as in other neighborhoods.
"Barracks is attractive because you can still get land or abandoned factories at prices much lower in the rest of the City " said Gustavo Fernandez, Edelven developer, which in 1998 opted for He transforms the building of the General Company of phosphorus in California to 2000 in the Central Park office complex. The front of this building was painted by Perez Celis, who has his studio there.
"They 50,000 square meters of offices, 80% of which are leased," says Fernandez. In 2006 we incorporated other building, other 5,000 meters on the street Herrera, and now 3,000 meters more " . The signing of Levi's jeans just rented a local 500 meters in Central Park (California and Herrera), to give an outlet. "We are working to attract more local brands and make this area a Barracks Polo Outlets anticipates Fernández.
The recycling of old factories seems to be a resource that capitalizes on the building structure was formidable than the industrial effort of a city and a developing country, but it was only in the way ... ... a systematic process truncated by personal interests and the awkwardness of certain leaders.
capital Buenos Aires is South America where they have come together, from the conquest and demographic fluctuations, different currents migratory and therefore has certain buildings that evoke the places of origin to their builders imagined, either by a melancholy reminiscence overseas, a mere symbolism or political allegiance.
Although migration is currently occurring on a larger scale, it is clear that the type of construction or replica style reminiscent to the place of origin is little reproduced anywhere in the world, except that time in ethnic neighborhoods targeted the Far East of the big western cities, where it is more noticeable (eg Chinese, or Korean neighborhoods in Buenos Aires or Islamist-rooted neighborhoods in London.) Of course that in comparison with the beginning of the century buildings, the architectural features low output current drawn by the current migratory flows obey different contexts, when the concepts of state and nation were in full training at the beginning of the twentieth century (and a little back too) and posed to reveal the emergence of certain trends or political-social.
In Diagonal Roque Sáenz Peña North (between Bartolomé Mitre and Maipú), located in a small triangular block is called the building which now houses the Bank Comafi. The function of the building remained the same since its inception, related to the ideal (of progress within the flourishing agro-export model early century) that led to the construction of the Diagonal and financial institutions and most symmetrical forms the harbor.
According to the Web http://www.arquitectura.com/historia/protag/gianotti/gianotti.asp
the building was built by Francisco Gianotti, Italian of course, is the beginning of 1900 and initially was the Company Navigation ltaly America, later becoming the Banco di Napoli, no doubt the long memories who walked through downtown to remember.
According to this same page, the architectural style on the outside is decorated with Venetian Gothic, reminiscent of Venice's Ducal Palace , which, by comparison, can be seen with the naked eye on the arches and columns.
} One of the most significant details is the magnificent sculpture of the Wolf suckling Romulus and Remus dominates the corner of Bartolomé Mitre and Maipú, best perceived by those who come by Mitre that Maipú, which not only seems to evoke the grandeur of Rome, but also one of the most potent migratory flows that built the country demographically.
} While the legend of Romulus and Remus is the most widely used worldwide, it is worth reviewing a piece of it from one of the most memorable prose writers of Rome, both for his poetry as its theme, the book Fasti of Ovid is indispensable source for researchers, mythographers and curious life of Rome and the early empire, as Ovid lived during the reign of Augustus, shortly after the death of Caesar, when the city and began their areas of influence (while) not only away from the republican era, but also to expand through weapons and refinement even more overwhelming civilization.

When the reason for the feast day of the Luperci (15 February), an ancient festival "Pagan" who has a derivation of the name "Lupercal" as a place where "... the vestal Silvia gave birth to a blue fruit, when his paternal uncle ran the kingdom. This small ordered into the river and drown. What are you doing that? One of them is Romulus. The servants fulfill the order reluctantly deplorable, but the twins are crying to the place tidy. The Albula, which became the Tiber because Tiberino had dived into the waves, was casually grown winter waters. Here, where now lies the forums and your valley, Circus Maximus, the boats could be seen giving laps. When they got there (they could not go further), said one or another of them: "But how alike they are! How beautiful you both! However, this is the one most effective of the two. If the breed is seen on the face, and the appearance does not deceive, I suspect you do not know what god is ... Now, if some god was the author of your existence, I would help in a very critical time. Also your mother I would help, if it were needed, that in a single day has been a mother and left no children.
Beings born at a time and that time you're gonna die, go to the water to a time! ". He finished and took them off the chest. The two gave a wail at once, as if they were aware. The servants returned home with wet cheeks. The chest held them, as had been, on the surface of the water. Oh, what a great destination levaba the small tablet! The casket, driven from dark forests, stopped at the mud with a decrease in water flow. There was a tree, of which vestiges remain, and the fig tree that is now called "Rumina" was the fig tree of Romulus. A wolf has just given birth to twins was exposed, Oh great!: Who can believe that the animal did not harm children? No harm is low, they even make a profit: A wolf who fed the hands relatives were able to try to lose! He stopped, and the tail caressed the tender young, and with his tongue licking the figure of the two bodies. Could be known they were sons of Mars were not afraid. They pull the udder and are fed using milk that was not promised. She named the place, and where, in turn, the Luperci . Great is the prize that has the mother for the milk they gave ... " (Ovid, Fasti, comprising between 3 and 8 dc Edicomunicación sa, Spain, 1999)
here as E Ovid tells of the origin myth of the greatness and militancy that support office of Rome. As highlighted in this small sample, his poetry, the drama of the sentencing decision of the twins, and that story so often repeated in the old (despite the fragmented stories that come to us at present) from the basket to drift by the river and saved somehow, in this case the Wolf , which in Ovid's tale is not only tragic, but also poignant.

For the same (although many well-known story) you can find in other places in Fasti, Romulus and Remus are the product of the outrage of the god Mars on the vestal Silvia, that Romulus killed himself this tyrant guy that ordered the murders and become a warrior for the myth ... played after two thousand years not only in sculptures, architectural features or names, but also in manners and customs of the societies, and that we should not forget that Rome, among other things is shown that was the beginning of the modern Western world.
