Art Nouveau, known as the hallmark style of architecture in the 20th-century TV show comedy, most hallmark style would include old fashion taste, feminine elements, and classical decorations. For example, in the Yacht Club Argentino near the northern dock, the architecture implies lots of European windows with circle shapes on top of each, in the 20th century there were lots of designs such as this, and the building also has half sheds in the surrounding of the second floor, on the first floor, there would be outer space and arcades for walking, this is also very similar to the 20th store designs. This type of architecture is endangered in Argentina because this isn’t their own culture, the uniqueness and specificity of this style aren’t as outputting as in the old times, meanwhile, when Americans also had better saves of this type of architecture, Argentina type of buildings would be much unlikely to save in a long time.

Art Deco, a type of architecture that was most popular from 1925 to 1940, the most outstanding design of this architecture is its black fences with delicate designs of its shape, the building itself would have simple white bricks, stringed oil lamps, long thin black entrances, lots of thin windows that are invisible, and most of all, exquisite stone cravings. An example would be the Abasto Shopping Center in Buenos Aires. Art Deco is a unique culture that people have saved through the years, the unique type of design is very glamorous in modern cities, and there are also plenty around Buenos Aires, each piece of architecture is also saved completely, having these old types of buildings in 2024 is very unique, but due to its uniqueness, I don’t consider it to be endangered because people like these places, therefore for tourism usage, Art Deco buildings won’t be abandon.
