Location: City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Norman Foster, winning architect of the 1999 Pritzker Prize, owner of the mega studio, Foster + Partners, with base in London, and with offices in 13 cities around the world, has just opened its second building in Buenos Aires: the headquarters of the City Head of Government.  The monolithic building occupies the entire block bounded by Uspallata, Iguazú, Los Patos and Atuel streets, in the Parque Patricios neighborhood, and is part of the new and thriving Technological District.

The building achieved the LEED Gold Certification. Among the fundamental aspects that helped to achieve this award as sustainable building, is the quality of indoor air. When walking through it, is remarkable that, despite being a building without divisions, with glass facades and without suspended ceilings, the interior temperature is allways constant and very comfortable.
