Distrito Arcos

This guide to Distrito Arcos in Buenos Aires asks what you do with a rail yard once the trains stop coming through the Palermo marshaling yard beneath its brick viaduct arches. You'll hear how developers in December 2014 chose to build through the old structure rather than knock it down, keeping the exposed brick and iron gates while threading gardens between them. Look up at the arches that once carried freight trains overhead, and notice what fills the storefronts where wagons used to idle.
