Torre BankBoston
La Torre BankBoston est un édifice de bureaux situé dans le quartier de Retiro, à Buenos Aires, en Argentine. C'est la seconde œuvre de César Pelli dans cette ville. À la différence de l'édifice República –son premier édifice à Buenos Aires– qui correspond au dessin urbain de la ville, cette tour frappe inévitablement le regard, dans le paysage de Buenos Aires. Elle fut inaugurée en 2001, en présence du président de l'époque, Fernando de la Rúa. Le 30 juin 2005 on inaugura la peinture murale "Homenaje a Buenos Aires" de Guillermo Roux, située dans le vestibule de l'édifice.
Les architectes sont Cesar Pelli & Associates Architects ("design architect") et Mario Roberto Álvarez & Associates ("associate architect").

Plaza Fuerza Aérea Argentina
Plaza Fuerza Aérea Argentina (Spanish for "Argentine Air Force Square") is a square located in the barrio (district) of Retiro in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The square is located between the Retiro railway station on Avenida Dr. José María Ramos Mejía, Avenida San Martín and Avenida del Libertador. It was designed and built in the 1940s and inaugurated on January 4, 1945. Originally called Plaza Británica ("British Square"), its name was changed in 1982 to the current one, by paying homage to the Argentine Air Force after the Falklands War, which was its first war against an external enemy. However, some still refer to it by its old name and also Plaza de los Ingleses ("English Square"), although the latter name was never used officially. The Torre Monumental (formerly "Torre de los Ingleses"), is located in the center of the square.
