Bernasconi Institute, Educational palace in Parque Patricios, Argentina
The Bernasconi Institute stands as a four-story educational complex with Italianate architecture, stretching 140 meters across an eight-hectare property in Buenos Aires.
Built between 1921 and 1929, the institute emerged from Swiss-Italian manufacturer Felix Bernasconi's donation, transforming his estate into an educational facility.
The institute houses the Argentine Primary School Museum, established by Rosario Vera Peñaloza, containing educational artifacts and botanical collections within its marble halls.
The facility serves over 4,000 students through six different schools, including two kindergartens and a choir and orchestra school, with heated indoor pools.
The building features a carillon tower and an auditorium that originally contained a retractable glass ceiling for open-air concerts.
