Architecture in Mendoza, Argentina

Just a few images, anyway…as there is plenty here for quite an in-depth study for the construction enthusiast.

The main drag above Plaza Independencia, (an avenue called Emilio Civit) has some wonderful examples, many dating from the early 20th century. The above is one of the newer apartment towers.

And one of the older designs…

A custom doorway…

If I were to create a custom home (alas, not likely at this point) I always thought the perfect combination would be an Argentine designer/architect, and a German contractor to build it…Am I stereotyping, or what!?

From a photographic perspective, how much of the subject do you have to show in order to communicate the essence of it? Notice that none of my images show the entire building.
