Abasto Shopping, Buenos Aires

Abasto Shopping, Buenos Aires

If you read yesterday's post about La Bombonera, Boca Junior's stadium, then these names should be familiar to you. Abasto Shopping, Buenos AiresJosé Luis Delpini, Viktor Sulčič & Raúl Bes were the architectural team who designed that stadium and here we find there names, in Argentian tradition, inscribed on the wall of another of their large Buenos Aires projects, the former Abasto Market.

The original market opened in 1893 and this building was built between 1931 and 1934. Today it is a modern shopping centre reopening as Abasto Shopping in 1999 after the old fruit & vegetable market had closed in 1984.
