Plaza San Martín
Buenos Aires
The plaza in 1909 was the site for the inaugural of both the first premier hotel in Argentina (the Plaza) and of the new National Museum of Fine Arts, for which the glass and steel pavilion used at the 1889 World's Fair in Paris was enlisted; structurally inadequate, the pavilion was demolished in 1932, however. Plaza San Martín and its surroundings acquired their current physiognomy in 1936, when Charles Thays' son, Carlos León Thays, designed the esplanade surrounding the monument and when the 33-story Art Deco Kavanagh building was completed.

Healthy Atmosphere
Gigantic buildings connected by wide, suspended roadways on which traffic will speed at unheard of rates... Helicopter planes will take the place of the ground taxi... Many persons will live in the healthy atmosphere of the building tops...
