Buenos Aires Photographer - Big Pics of BA

A photoblog with large images of Buenos Aires - Active 2008 - 2011

Luz y Fuerza

Luz y Fuerza in San TelmoPuerto Madero Tower
I believe Luz y Fuerza is an electric company, altho please leave a comment if I'm wrong. The building is on Defensa and Belgrano in San Telmo. The photo on the right is a monstrous high rise nearing completion in Puerto Madero. All skycrapers are inherently phallic but this building turns the volume up to 11.

Luz y Fuerza is a workers' union actually... there's a tiny bit of info here: http://www.luzyfuerzacapital.com.ar/

I always meant to take a photo of that building... guess it will wait until I return to BA.

Sindicato de Luz y Fuerza is indeed, the workers' union (sindicato). It ressembles the workers of the electricity companies.

Very nice pictures! I find that it was a good idea to allow commetns on your posts.

Yeah what I love about that high-rise building is that it is both modern and yet preserves that old, very buenos-aires black-slate roof and white stylised walls...if you see what I mean.
