New City Hall in Buenos Aires | Foster + Partners
Lord Foster has attended opening celebrations in Buenos Aires today for the new Buenos Aires Ciudad Casa de Gobierno, a sustainable new city hall for the Mayor and 1,500 staff ? and the practice?s first civic project in Argentina. Spanning an entire city block in Parque Patricios, the building is a catalyst for the regeneration of the neighborhood and combines an environmentally efficient design with an innovative, highly flexible internal arrangement of terraced working floors.

Entry is through a soaring four-story-high atrium. Full-height glass walls fill the space with natural light and create a visual connection with the adjacent park. The four tiers of workspaces step back to create a sequence of internal terraces. All floors are connected by top-lit circulation routes and punctuated by two large landscaped patios. The activity spaces are open, naturally lit and visible, ensuring good communication between departments and promoting a sense of community. Courtesy of © Foster + Partners
The generous floor plates are based on an eight-meter grid, which allows for a wide variety of layouts ? the building was originally commissioned as the headquarters for Banco Ciudad, and the inherent flexibility of its design has enabled a seamless transition into government offices. Further facilities include a café and a 300-seat wood-paneled auditorium, which can be used for events by the local neighborhood.
