Museo Fortabat: art in Puerto Madero

Rafael Viñoly returned to his native city of Buenos Aires to build this small but distinctive museum. Typically an architect of grand gestures (his New York-based firm is responsible for creating striking art centers, hotels and recreational  facilities across America) his design for the Museo Fortabat is relatively discreet. Conceived to hold the Coleccion Fortabat, the substantial art collection of one of Latin America's richest woman (Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat), the museum sits in a quiet spot in Puerto Madero.

The Fortabat Museum is located in Puerto Madero

A long, low rise structure, with a curved canopy for a roof that drops down on its dockside facade, this building is leading the port's cultural renaissance, acting as a precuror of two planned center designed by Norman Foster.
