(L) Buenos Aires



Hello everybody, today´s post is about one of Bs As most iconic places, Mariano Moreno National Library ,  designed by the great Clorindo Testa. 


Let me just tell you this place is freaking awesome!  
Not many people know this, but from the 6th floor, you get a 360 look of Recoleta, including a magnific view of Rio de la Plata river. 
It was designed in the 60´s with a brutalistic arquitectonic style.  This means that the materials of the facade are express in a brutal way.  The structure is not longer hidden, you can clearly see it.
This place is wonderful if you need to study, read or chill in a silent and peaceful enviroment.

Hola a todos! El post de hoy es acerca de uno de los íconos de Bs As, la Biblioteca Nacional Mariano Moreno, diseñada por el gran Clorindo Testa.
Este lugar es absolutamente increíble!
Un secreto que no muchos saben es que desde el 6to piso, se obtiene una visión
360 ° de Recoleta, con una vista espectacular al Rio de la Plata.
Fue diseñada en los años 60 y su estilo arquitectónico es brutalista. Esto significa que los materiales se expresan en la fachada de manera bruta. La estructura no esta oculta, se puede ver claramente.
Este lugar es perfecto si necesitas estudiar, leer o descansar en un ambiente silencioso y pacifico.
