Buenos Aires was one of the 4 bigger cities in the world in the early XX century with Paris, London and New York.
Thanks to its Italian craft-manhood, french ideal, and a load of architects coming from Europe, BA was constructed with the higher standards of design and materials, and with as many styles as origins of its immigrants.

Unhappily an architectural genocide is taking place since the beginning of the 60s. Not much remains, and still it's been demolished.
Buenos Aires is losing it's heritage and it's identity.
In this first post I will just show some pictures of demolished theaters, some lyric, some comedy, a couple with cinematographer.
