| Foster + Partners' first project in Latin America Foster + Partners' reveal their first project in Latin America. The Aleph will be a new waterside mixed-use cultural and residential quarter in Buenos Aires' new arts district. The redevelopment of the former industrial port district of Puerto Madero, close to Buenos Aires' financial centre, represents a dynamic meeting of civic space, the arts, commerce and community. The Aleph – the final chapter of the Faena Arts and Technology District - combines new construction with the selective refurbishment of existing buildings to provide a sustainable mixed-use urban quarter with a wide range of social and cultural amenities. The project is planned to open in 2010, the bicentennial of the Argentinean Republic. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
