Edificio Anexo de la Cámara de Diputados, Legislative office building in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Edificio Anexo de la Cámara de Diputados is a 14-story building with glass and concrete facades designed according to rationalist architectural principles. The structure houses administrative offices, political group meeting rooms, and work spaces distributed across multiple levels accessible through the main entrance hall.
Construction began in 1973 and was completed in 1984, with modifications made during the military regime that altered both aesthetic and functional aspects. This period left its mark on the building's design and use.
The building houses a 260-seat auditorium where public conferences, legislative seminars, and government educational programs take place throughout the year.
Visiting the building typically requires prior registration and security screening at the entrance. Visitors are advised to check beforehand whether a tour is possible, as the building primarily serves administrative functions.
The foundation required specialized engineering solutions due to the underground presence of Subway Line A and the Sarmiento Railway tunnel beneath the building site. These underground structures created a significant challenge during the planning and execution of the foundations.
