Fundación Proa

This guide to Fundación Proa in the La Boca shipyard district of Buenos Aires opens with a riddle: one street front, three facades, and only the center one is actually a century old. It traces how a single Italianate house that opened in 1996 with a Rufino Tamayo retrospective grew into a contemporary art center, when the same Milan architecture studio returned a decade later to wrap the old stone front in glass. Stand at the street front and trace where the stone gives way to glass.
