What guided this image
- Landmarks
- Obelisco; Palace of the Argentine National Congress; Palacio Barolo and the Kavanagh Building; Puente de la Mujer; Catalinas Norte; Plaza de Mayo; Parisian-style Beaux-Arts and Art Nouveau; Palermo
- Viewpoint
- Favor a slightly elevated viewpoint above the city center, looking east across the dense grid and Avenida 9 de Julio with the Obelisco toward Puerto Madero and the flat horizon of the Río de la Plata.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the street trees, the avenue medians, the parks, the Congress dome, and the overall visual impression.
- Guarded against
- Avoid making Buenos Aires look like Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, or Rio de Janeiro, and avoid Mediterranean or tropical-beach character.
