Last Easter I was in the capital of Cordoba and was impressed with the architectural level, art and design of this city. I found a sparkling new power and above all with a lot of money invested in infrastructure.
Among the most important works were made in recent years are the Paseo del Buen Pastor, the expansion of the Museum of Fine Arts Caraffa Ferreyra Palace and Museum.
The latter project has been surrounded by considerable controversy, first by the price at which it was acquired Palace, then the investment in the work, later by the alteration of the original building, and still causes. Despite this, I think the end result is amazing and gives character to the city of Córdoba. More photos in the rest of post.
Unfortunately I have the knowledge to get to make architectural analysis of this work, but I share some photos I took and some fragments of an explanatory note of the newspaper by its correspondent in Orlando Cordoba Andrada.
Inside the museum.
Entry and gift shop.
Another view of the infeed table.
Side Ladder.
“The building is an architectural gem that Martin Ferreyra Commissioned by the French cabinet on Paul Ernest Sanson 1914, in Nueva Cordoba neighborhood today. In the center of a whole apple grated, was designed following the strictest rules of composition of the Ecole de Beaux Arts. The house was made up of countless rooms, enclosures and baths: at the top level had 27 spaces. His rehabilitation to accommodate the museum required a skilled work involving revolutionize everything inside the big house, with demolition of walls to make way for large rooms”.
Hall central.
Showroom.
“It covers 4800 m2, which is now almost 3000 m2 are intended to 14 Showrooms: on the main floor, four rooms; More Grand Central Hall; underground, three rooms and the auditorium; on the first floor three rooms of great height, and at the top level three smaller rooms and height”.
Showroom on the second floor.

“The responsibility of the task was in charge of the study GGMPU architects, with the architect Jorge Morini. The practitioner said that [all parts] resolved without altering the original architectural features, had reconciled since ancient and modern. “Ferreyra Palace, mysteriously, seems to have been designed to be a museum in the future because it is not forced, if the whole course, nothing is pressed”, Moroni said”.
Confectionery (regrettably, only for reported events according to what local people).

I did not like the museum, I liked it more as a palace, is a fiasco what they did.
I really liked as Palace; shame as everything in n / country.-
What is “History” collapses in Europe not as respected as it es.Será all very nice to have it as a museum but it is better to respect the history and roots.-
I do not like at all the destruction of its fantastic interior ubiese liked me more than restored, and leave him alone as he was with all the walls and furniture … no words for the anger I feel , its head(architect) would have to repent of what iso
last year went to cordoba liked the museum wanted to receive programming using
What they did to the palace is an atrocity. The Argentines, by ignorant, antics such as this one allow governments to shift.
In the course of remodeling all the furniture disappeared Paris, English curtain, Persian carpets and countless objects of great value. It was a pillage.
Where is all this heritage?…..In the house of Moroni and De la Sota?…
Shameful that an architect would do this…STUDENT OF ARCHITECTURE AS A CRIME SEEMS TO ME. GOVERNMENT OF ANY THINGS TO EXPECT…OF THIS “BUSINESS” ALSO SEE THAT. POR PLATA BAILA EL MONO.
my SCHOTT is to know where I can ask for confectionary budget LAquila, from already thank you very much
A HORROR what they did with the Palace Ferreyra.Me Cordobez ashamed as a lack of respect for that heritage nuestro.Han mixing the old with the ultra modern,and glass windows with blackout,dichroic lamps,acrylic chairs,black leather chairs,low-light black corridors that resemble a bowling alley,and a ladder all covered in black leather espantosa.Mas looks like the ue DEVILLE.Q Cruel house asking who made this pardon!!!!!
Another sack over the heritage and culture of Cordoba, These acrylic chairs are horrible for the field's palace, a pity that no building has been respected, furniture.-
The lack of understanding and culture of our leaders, are embarrassed.
an atrocity what they did with the majestic palace . result of ignorance , the lack of culture , mediocrity and visceral resentment of the shift Peronist who did this and wanted to win elections at the time . not enough and the destruction they have done in the country to continue to destroy what little we have left??? paradox : must destroy to build new culture historical ?
