Facade of the Kirchner Cultural Center and Surroundings (15 Pics) [ENG/ESP]
It's always a pleasure to be in front of this building with its imposing architecture and huge monumental columns. A gigantic building built in the late 1800's and inaugurated in 1928 as the headquarters of the central post office of the city of Buenos Aires, it is approaching its centennial and I can imagine that the celebration will be wonderful. Approximately 60 meters high and 8 stories high, this national historic monument is located in the neighborhood of San Nicolas.
The style of architecture is Beaux Arts and its promoter is the city government, by the hand of the architect Norbert Maillart. Since its inauguration it was serving as the central post office for 74 years and it was not until 2010 when it was implemented as the Bicentennial Cultural Center, later it was given the name of Néstor Kirchner Cultural Center and in 2015 it would be given its current name.
Siempre es un agrado estar frente a éste edificio con su imponente arquitectura y sus enormes columnas monumentales. Un gigantesco edificio construido a finales de los años 1800 e inaugurado en 1928 como sede del correo central de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, ya se acerca su centenario y debo imaginar que la celebración será maravillosa. Con aproximadamente 60 metros de altura y 8 plantas, este monumento histórico nacional se encuentra en el barrio de San Nicolás.
El estilo de arquitectura es Beaux Arts y su promotor es el gobierno de la ciudad, de la mano del arquitecto Norbert Maillart. Desde su inauguración estuvo prestando servicios como correo central por 74 años y no fué hasta el 2010 cuando se implementó como el centro cultural del Bicentenario, posteriormente se le dió el nombre de centro cultural Néstor Kirchner y ya en el 2015 quedaría con el nombre actual.
It's curious that every time I decide to take some photos of this building I have not been able to access the interior either because of time shortage or because they are doing some private activities and in fact I think in other occasions I have already shared some photos of the cultural center some months ago. I think I will have to try again the entrance and I hope this time it will be successful.
There are many works of art and too many attractions in this place both for its design and architecture in the interior as in the exhibition works that are there, if I am not mistaken there is something called blue whale, when I get inside I will give many more details about it.
Es curioso que cada vez que decido tomar algunas fotos de este edificio no he podido acceder al interior ya sea por escasez de tiempo o porque están realizando algunas actividades privadas y de hecho creo que en otras ocasiones ya he compartido algunas fotos del centro cultural hace algunos meses. Creo que tendré que intentar nuevamente el ingreso y espero que está vez sea exitoso.
Hay muchas obras de arte y demasiados atractivos en este lugar tanto por su diseño y arquitectura en el interior como en los trabajos de exhibición que allí se encuentran, si no me equivoco existe algo llamado ballena azul, cuando logre entrar daré muchos más detalles al respecto.
Speaking in photographic terms, I used my 55-200mm lens and for other shots I used the 18-55mm kit lens to cover the whole building and part of its surroundings as well as more specific areas such as the dome, the columns, the engraving of the name and these details of architecture and relief that fascinate so much.
I also wanted to take other photos (the following ones) with the 18-55mm lens from the entrance of the place, I think they were pretty good but if I had the option to choose I would have used a wide angle lens, curving the structure a little and getting much more attractive results and with a brutal perspective.
Hablando en términos fotográficos, utilicé mi lente 55-200mm y para otras tomas en lente de kit 18-55mm pudiendo abarcar todo el edificio y parte de sus alrededores así como también zonas más puntuales como la cúpula, las columnas, el grabado del nombre y estos detalles de arquitectura y relieve que tanto fascinan.
Además quise hacer otras fotos (las siguientes) en contrapicado con el lente 18-55mm desde la entrada del lugar, opino que quedaron bastante bien pero si tuviera la opción de elegir hubiese usado en lente gran angular, curvando un poco la estructura y obteniendo resultados muchísimo más atractivos y con una perspectiva brutal.
Extra Bonus Photos.
(Extra Bono de Fotos).
Here is an extra series, a bonus of other photos dedicated to the lines, walls, windows and balconies of other buildings in the vicinity of the cultural center. They are random photographs with no intention of specifically mentioning any detail of each structure but rather to appreciate the photograph in relation to the architecture and the attractiveness that they have.
Without further ado, I leave you with these 5 photos taken near the central mail station of the E line of the Buenos Aires subway, San Nicolas neighborhood in the city of Buenos Aires. A big hug to all of you and keep enjoying your Sunday or I hope you have already enjoyed it 😊
Acá les dejo una serie extra, un bono de otras fotos dedicado puntualmente a las líneas, muros, ventanas y balcones de otros edificios que se encuentran en las cercanías del centro cultural. Son fotografías al azar sin intención de mencionar específicamente algún detalle de cada estructura sino más bien de apreciar la fotografía en relación a la arquitectura y el atractivo que éstas tienen.
Sin mas que agregar les dejo éstas 5 fotos tomadas cerca de la estación correo central de la línea E del subterráneo de Buenos Aires, barrio San Nicolás en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Un fuerte abrazo para todos y que sigan disfrutando de su domingo o espero que ya lo hayan disfrutado 😊

😍 I love this photo soot! I'm a huge fan of architecture photos and this building is impressive! I hope one nice day you can do an interior photo shoot as the inside must be gorgeous as well.
I see the banner advertising a coffee for $250??? The other day I got a letter from Buenos Aires and the total value of the stamps was $5100 😱 Is inflation so high in Argentina?
Thank you for this nice photo shoot my friend and have a nice day 🤗😘
I must plan a visit inside this building, I will definitely do it my dear Erika 😊
Inflation in Argentina is very high and it gets worse every month, you can buy meat for $4000 (1 Kilo) and the cost in dollars is almost 4. There are people who earn half a million pesos and that is equivalent to 560 USD.
Many times I experience deja vu 😂 I have already been through this in Venezuela 🙈
That is not good at all. You have left Venezuela for the exact same reason, now you're in it again in Argentina? Not cool.
