There is a movie that was filmed in that house, it's called "El hombre de al lado". It's a very good movie indeed!

Great video and a very cool house! Thanks for sharing as always

It looks like it’s been modified here and there through the years (unsightly air conditioning units, piping, etc). It would be great if it could be restored to its original 1949 appearance.

The back part of the building it’s not part of the house It’s the building of the Colegio de Arquitectos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires

Espectacular Gary soy arquitecto y de la ciudad de La Plata, estuviste en una joya de la arquitectura de Le Corbusier, y te aseguro que este puede ser uno de tus videos mas vistos, ya que mucha gente quiere conocerla pero no puede venir a mi ciudad. Te quedaria entrar al estadio del Club Estudiantes de La Plata ahora !

Esa casa significa la destrucción de lo mejor de la arquitectura de la Argentina. La relevancia y el fanatismo promovido hacia Le Courbusier por parte de las Facultades de Arquitectura hizo de la destrucción de la más hermosa arquitectura de las ciudades, casi una obligación. Me arriesgo a decir que su influencia fue una desgracia para este país.

guy next door movie was shot here right?

There is a butcher shop in the San Telmo market called Puesto 54. You should try the meat they sell. The best asado I have ever tasted.

Le Corbusier was a communist, so his designs were ideologically charged. He was opposed to private property, and this is reflected in his architecture. For instance, the entrance door (11:34) serves as a symbolic 'entrance,' trying not to be a barrier separating public and private spaces. That's why the metal cut-out featuring his face at the entrance (5:40) includes the communist star, and the typical attitude of superiority-complex hold by socialists. Le Corbusier associated with both communists and fascists. During World War II, he collaborated with the Nazi regime in occupied France. This was a period when the distinction between fascism and communism was non-existent, as both were considered far-left forms of socialism. The post-war narrative that fascism is "far right" emerged later, promoted as propaganda by Keynesian economists who integrated elements of fascist economic policies into capitalist systems. During this period, Argentina was ruled by Juan Perón, who described Peronism as a form of Nazism. This is why Le Corbusier accepted a design project in Argentina. After Germany's defeat, Perón attempted to facewash his party, renaming it "Justicialism" to rebrand it as "social justice". His policies, which were fascist, socialist, and Keynesian economics, were attempted for over 70 years in an effort to make them work. However, they continuously failed and completely ruined Argentina's economy, but because socialism is hate speech, they always blamed the industry, the IMF, and rich nations, claiming no responsibility for the disaster.

Beautiful and breezy! The next time you're in Mar del Plata, try to visit the 'Casa del Puente' (Bridge House) - which was built around the same time in a similar, mid-century style (though by an Argentine architect, the late Amancio Williams). Abandoned for many years, it was reopened a couple of years ago as a museum. Thanks as always for the thorough and pleasant tour, Garry, and All the Best.

The photos refer to Italian-born Argentine architect Clorindo Testa's designs, particularly the Banco Hipotecario building in BA, in the Brutalist style as the Mariano Moreno National Library, also in BA. Testa's architectural practice spanned the second half of the 20th century. You most certainly must've gone by these two buildings in BA, along with the Recoleta Cultural Center, which he recycled back in the late '70s.

At 0:40, the tree in the center is an Araucaria, a living fossil that has been around for 200 million years. It is a true survivor from the Jurassic period, predating many dinosaurs that largely emerged during the Cretaceous period. Its distinctive fungus-like canopy is natural.

What a cool house!

My grandfather fought that war he was 16 years old

I like how simple and relaxed your story telling 😌

My city ❤

Thanks Garry for always having that remarkable quality of showing us part of our history that many of us were unaware of.

Recomiendo Museo Rocsen Nono San Luis

Por cierto Ensenada es otro Partido, no es La Plata, son 135 Partidos en Provincia de Buenos Aires.

Punta Lara esta bueno son las playas de Ensenada.

Dear Garry, thank you so much for showing this.❤

Enjoyed! Fascinating museum and looked like a fun local celebration

Nice nice video Garry!!

33:09 In this reconstruction of a 19th-century battle, the drone is not historically accurate. I believe drones of that era would have been steam-powered and fueled by whale oil or coal.

such a fun museum in such an emblematic park as Parque "El Cente" Centenario is damn my whole youth was spent on that grass, meeting so many random people... imo one of the best places in Buenos Aires Ciudad every new year since 2010 or so, i go over there... at least to visit the park before going back home

fun fact, the Naval Hospital was built inspired by Submarines... if you take a look at the structure it really resembles a submarine

Field Museum!

I’m impressed by all the cars that backed into diagonal parking spots along the park. Definitely never see that in the US.

In that musseum i see a focilized spider of 40 cm diameter and 1.6 kg weigth. It is incredible place

Garry, Thank you for doing this video. I am interested in going to visit Riobamba! I have at least 1 ancestor from there. Also, I like history. Thank you for providing the history of Eloy Alfaro and the establishment of the Ecuadorian Railway. Your video inspires me and helps me prepare to visit!😊

Qué lindo , yo fui con el colegio 1) A la republica de los niños 2) el museo ...me gustó mucho

seguis en argentina??? te pensas quedar a vivir un tiempo con nosotros?

¡Felìz 2025 Garry! Espero que te quedes entre nosotros.

Podrias hacer la visita guiada a la Casa Curutchet de Le Corbusier, pero eso es mas p los que le gusta la arquitectura, saludos

Excelente papaaaaa

Seeeeeh paaaaaaa

25:10 That's the largest dinosaur ever found, but is too big to be assembled inside the museum.

NO, it's not a holly cow, it's a blue whale

Hello Mr. Super Agent 86 Maxell Smart. I want to donate U$S 1 000 000. how can I do to give you the money?

Wow it's amazing museum

School sent me there back in late 00s, good memories! Have a happy new year!

Wow this is an amazing museum!

Been there in 1989, still remember it fondly. Thank you for the ride

Hi Gary. Happy new year 2025. Without ignoring the tremendous knowledge in paleontology of the University of La Plata, the best Dinosaur Museum in Argentina is in Patagonia. In Trelew, the city of the Welsh in Argentina. I don't remember if you went last year. It is a region of Welsh people like Gaiman and Dolavon in which its inhabitants still speak Welsh, which is being lost in Wales itself. Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum (MEF), Trelew. Considered one of the best paleontological museums in the world, it houses scientific collections with more than 1,700 fossil pieces of dinosaurs and other extinct species.

Hi Garry, Very interesting video. I love the noise of children, it gives life to the museum❤ Happy 2025!

Feliz año Garry🎉 !! It was always my dream to visit this museum...now I see that it is beautiful...I hope I can go someday...For now I knew it through your video and it is immense... at that time and right now, building a building like that must have cost a lot of money... Argentina must have been in a good economic moment at that time...thanks!!

Buen comienzo de año 🎉

THRIVE IN '25! 🇦🇷 🍾 🥂💃🕺

Hi Garry! Happy new year from Alta Gracia Cordoba!! I love your videos!! Could you please enable the subtitles on this one? Thanks!
