Despite all beauty and elegance of Buenos Aires, you will find a lot of these anonymous, faceless high-rise buildings if you step off the normal tourist paths. They were mostly built in the modern spirit of rationality of the 1970s. The good thing is you have a magnificent view from up there.

every city in the world has awful blocks such as these... nice photo of a grim place
Hahaha! That's my building! Dorrego y Luis Maria Campos!! Lots of ex-military in there and its rumored there's an ex-dictator in there too. Let me know if you want to snap a shot from the roof! The background of this page and a few shots for Las Canitas are from there: http://landingpadba.com/cityguide.php
The building looks a little sinister, but the view must be the great part of it.
I am with Carraol, they look sinister but living there might be totally different and a wonderful experience.
I really liked the photo of the pony and the man. It must be the thing for kids to do everywhere. Ride a horse. LOL

Bing-it
Your photo certainly captures urban ugly, of which we have much in the U.S., too!
I'd be curious to know what the apartment interiors are like...
i like some of the new high rise apartment buildings in Palermo. I do think B.A. is the most livable for mid-level high rises anywhere. Everything is steps away or can be delivered to your door, including gelato
@ssssnakeHow can I get in touch with you? Would you drop me a line? I provided an email in my blogger profile.
That's a heck of a shot.
