Edificio del Plata, Rationalist building in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Edificio del Plata stands nine stories tall with a glass facade and adjustable plastic blinds covering the office floors at its central location.

The construction of Edificio del Plata began in 1947 after demolishing the previous Mercado del Plata in 1950, with completion delayed until 1961.

The building represents the vertical densification movement in Buenos Aires between 1880 and 1930, responding to rapid urban population growth.

The ground floor of Edificio del Plata houses a branch of Banco Ciudad de Buenos Aires, while upper floors contain municipal government offices.

The structure adapts to its triangular plot through innovative architectural solutions, marking early implementation of modern design principles in Argentina.
