For me it is a great pleasure to find buildings or buildings that are unique and controversial in their style and history and I accidentally stumbled across this building located in the neighborhood of Palermo, it caught my attention because its aesthetics is very different from what is usually seen in the areas of this neighborhood, adding that it has one of the styles of architecture that catch my attention... Brutalist Architecture.
Why do I like this style? Well, because it expresses the works in its crudest materials without coatings and the term comes from the French Beton Brut whose meaning would be raw cement or raw concrete.
Originated in the decade of the 50's is a somewhat nostalgic architectural I think, which was carried out during the post war period for the construction of structures with low cost after the decline in these countries.
Argentina was one of the countries that adopted this style and I particularly love it.
Para mí es un enorme placer poder encontrar edificios o edificaciones que sean únicas y controversiales en su estilo e historia y sin querer me topé por la redes con este edificio ubicado en el barrio de Palermo, me llamo mucho la atención ya que su estética es muy diferente a la que suele verse en las zonas de este barrio agregando además, que posee uno de los estilos de arquitectura que más me llaman la atención... Arquitectura Brutalista.
¿Por qué me agrada mucho este estilo? Bueno porque expresa las obras en sus materiales más crudos sin revestimientos y el término proviene del francés Betón Brut cuyo significado sería cemento en crudo u hormigon en crudo.
Originado en la década de los años 50 es una arquitecta un tanto nostálgica pienso, que se llevó a cabo durante la post guerra para la construcción de estructuras con bajo costo luego de la decadencia en estos países.
Argentina fue uno de los que adoptó este estilo y a mi en particular me encanta.
The Dorrego Tower is the name by which this building is known and is designed in such a way that the sunlight can reach each of the apartments of the structure that is 102 meters high and has 32 levels, built in the 70's by the hand of architects Alberto Ricur, Luis Caffarini and Alfredo Joselevich after winning a competition for this work.
It is a building that gives much to talk about for its exuberant aesthetics, size and rarity, has a semicircular shape that offers photographers something impressive to capture and that is symmetry. When I met him and went to see it unfortunately the best forms can be seen from the inside and as it is a private residential complex obviously can not be accessed so easily.
La torre Dorrego es el nombre con el que se conoce este edificio y está diseñado de tal manera que la luz del sol pueda llegar a cada uno de los departamentos de la estructura que consta de 102 metros de altura y posee 32 niveles, construido en la década de los años 70 de la mano de los arquitectos Alberto Ricur, Luis Caffarini y Alfredo Joselevich luego de ganar un concurso para ésta obra.
Es un edificio que da mucho de que hablar por su exuberante estética, tamaño y rareza, tiene una forma semicircular que ofrece a la vista de los fotógrafos algo impresionante que capturar y es la simetría. Cuando lo conocí y fui a verlo lamentablemente las mejores formas pueden verse desde el interior y como es un conjunto residencial privado obviamente no se puede acceder tan fácilmente.
The photos I managed to take were not the best either as it was a bit uncomfortable when taking the shots, I was not well positioned and the building is located between subway and train stations, so there were many obstacles and besides one of them was my time. Still, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this other giant brutalist building in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina 😊
Without further ado, I hope you have enjoyed both this architectural work and the information provided especially for you in Hive and the community. I wish you an excellent and fruitful day ☀️😊
Las fotos que logré tomar tampoco fueron las mejores ya que fue un poco incómodo a la hora de hacer las tomas, no estaba bien posicionado y el edificio se encuentra entre estaciones de subterráneo y tren, así que había muchos obstáculos y aparte uno de ellos era mi tiempo. Aún así, no pude dejar pasar la oportunidad de compartir este otro gigante edificio brutalista de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina 😊
Sin más que agregar espero que hayan disfrutado tanto de esta obra arquitectónica como de la información proporcionada especialmente para ustedes en Hive y la comunidad. Les deseo que tengan un excelente y fructífero día ☀️😊

I like the semicircle shape that was given to this apartment complex, it is something unique and rare to see since usually people focus on simple rectangles, on the other hand I also imagine the play of light. Being an enclosed semicircle, there are apartments that receive more natural light due to the position of the sun at certain times, while on the sides of it you must wait for a certain specific time to receive the rays of natural light, that is why the location is important and that there is no other building of great height that generates shade.
That's right @ginethchira2301 first time I read something about daylighting in this regard. I found it very interesting and at the same time very rare, besides there is still controversy in the neighborhood of Palermo since it is the only building like this in the area.
In fact right where I am standing now you can see this building in the background. Look at this 👇🏻🙂
if you are right it is the largest and also if you see your photo you can see how by the position of the sun, the left part of the building has shadow, 😁😁I would definitely buy in the middle that all the sunlight enters me
Good choice dear @ginethchira2301 ☺️
32 floors 😳 I have never seen such a tall building before. While this is surprising, it is also surprising that all buildings are designed to receive sunlight. Congratulations to the architects and masters who designed this building.
Congratulations @dimascastillo90! We're delighted to specially curate your awesome publication and award it RUNNER-UP in Architecture Brew #79. More power!
Thank you for subscribing to Architecture+Design, an OCD incubated community on the Hive Blockchain.
this building looks massive compared to ones that we have in New Zealand. It looks a bit busy to the eyes but at least it is is designed in that way so that each of the apartments can get sunlight. Oh perhaps, this building is an office building before?
