Summary:

Through texts, photos and testimonies, graphic designers Valeria Dulitzky and Julieta Ulanovsky (Estudio de diseño ZkySky) tell the story of the emblematic "Palacio Barolo", a 19th century skyscraper in downtown Buenos Aires full of legends and hermetic symbolism involving mysteries inspired in the "Divine Comedy" of Dante Alighieri. "Eclectic in the end, the building is both historicist and modern. It is an expression of dreamlike gesture which cannot escape romanticism of history on which it was inspired. This work may also fulfill its destiny as hinge between ages: and as well as the Divine Comedy marked the passage from Medieval to Renaissance thought, it may be possible to say that the building marks another passage, from historicism to constructive modernity." --Page 177.
