BA Storm: a pause in the chaos, with everyone vying for a taxi ride (glad I can call an ubiquitous Über driver). The corner of Santa Fe and Callao avenues, where two gem-like buildings sit opposite each other: the Roccatagliata by Mario Palanti (not visible from this angle) and the Santa Fe 1801 (otherwise unnamed) by Vicente Colmegna and Robert Tiphaine. A French wonder, featured extensively in a most commendable book: "The architecture of Liberal Argentina" (Ortiz, de Paula, Parera, 1968). #buenosaires #storm #santafeandcallao #architecture #avenidacallao #avenidasantafe #buenosairesskyline #avenidasantafe1801 #roberttiphaine #vicentecolmegna #buenosairesskyline (at Avenida Santa Fe 1800)
