A 1916 power station in La Boca reborn as a concert hall — its red-brick chimneys and exposed steel trusses preserved and repurposed into one of the city's finest acoustic venues. The industrial bones, all soaring brick and iron, give the music spaces a dramatic character no purpose-built hall could match, and the rooftop offers views over the colorful La Boca district. For visitors, it's a model of industrial heritage put to cultural use: a former generating station now generating concerts, in a neighborhood better known for tango and football than for architecture this striking.
