Edificio Transradio Internacional, Rationalist architecture building in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Edificio Transradio Internacional spans multiple floors with clean lines and geometric shapes, reflecting the principles of rational design through its structure.
Constructed in 1940 under architect Alejandro Christophersen's direction, the building served as a telecommunications center, handling telephone, telex, and telegraph services.
The building represents a departure from Christophersen's earlier French-influenced designs, marking a shift toward modernist architectural expression in Argentina.
Located on Corrientes Avenue in central Buenos Aires, the building later housed financial institutions including Banco Nazionale Lavoro and HSBC.
The structure stands as Christophersen's only venture into rationalist architecture, contrasting with his extensive portfolio of eclectic and classical designs.
