Buenos Aires (Argentina): Representing Argentina’s local flora and fauna as part of the port’s redevelopment project

The architectural design of public spaces, buildings and port infrastructure, whether they are new constructions or existing ones, can leverage light, colour, and materials as crucial components. These elements play a significant role in transforming the often-negative industrial perception associated with port cities. By creatively using these elements, such as in Dock F of Buenos Aires, where the old sand silos have been refurbished with artistic interventions to provide a new image for the port, the citizens can enjoy their port heritage through a new creative light.

This good practice also includes objective 6.2 (Integrating spaces and functions open to residents and visitors alike into port facilities, enhancing the visibility of the port and its activities) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
