Fontaine des Néréides

La Fontaine des Néréides ou Fuente de las Nereidas à Buenos Aires est une œuvre de la sculptrice argentine Lola Mora, représentant la naissance de Vénus. Elle est sculptée en marbre de Carrare (Italie) et fut inaugurée le 21 mai 1903. C'est une très grande sculpture où l'on peut voir Vénus sortant d'une grande valve marine supportée par son père Jupiter, et entourée de Néréides totalement dénudées axées vers la scène centrale. Elle était destinée à la Plaza de Mayo, mais le deshabillé des statues causa un grand émoi et une intense polémique, à la suite de quoi on la logea sur l' Avenida Leandro N. Alem, où elle resta pendant quinze ans. On la transféra alors sur la Costanera Sur à la limite du quartier de Puerto Madero et de la réserve écologique de Buenos Aires. Sa localisation actuelle est Avenida Tristán Achával Rodríguez 1550. Par décret présidentiel, la statue a été déclarée Monument Historique National en 1997.

Torre Chateau de Puerto Madero

Torre Château de Puerto Madero is a high-rise residential complex located in the neighborhood of Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The development began with the 2006 purchase of two, 7,000 m2 (74,000 ft2) lots in the Puerto Madero section by the Château Group, and was originally intended to include two, 48-story residential towers. The group sold the northern lot to the Madrid-based Rayet Group in 2007, however, and instead built the planned second high-rise on Avenida del Libertador (in the Núñez district). Work on the neo-Second Empire architecture building began promptly, and by early 2009, 75% of its 190 units had been sold; among the premier real estate developments in the city, the sale price ranged from US$330 to US$470 per square foot.

El Faro Towers

The El Faro Towers (Spanish: Torres El Faro "Lighthouse Towers"), also known as El Faro I/II, when referring to the complex individually, or El Faro Complex, when referring to the pair as a whole, are a highrise residential complex of two, twin interconnected skyscrapers located in the neighborhood of Puerto Madero, in Buenos Aires, the capital and largest city of Argentina. The El Faro Towers are made of glass, most specially used for the skyscraper's windows, and reinforced concrete. Although the two towers did not commence their construction at the same time, the first and second skyscrapers' construction ceased in 2003 and 2005, respectively. The twin skyscrapers were the tallest structures in Buenos Aires, and Argentina from 2003 to 2009. The towers have a height of 160 m (520 ft).
