BARRACAS - The design district in BA (this is vintage!)

Barracas is an old industrial district in Buenos Aires, not very center-located. Its inhabitants are middle and lower classes families, many of them descendants from railway workers. What you're gonna see in these pictures is a typical residential street there, and the building in the corner used to be a factory and it was turned into a residential building with 82 lofts. Now a designers exhibition (Casa FOA) is taking place there, after which the appartments are gonna be sold. I'll show you the place and then a little bit of the exhibition.
