Luis Caravati

Description:

Photographer Reynosa rescues and honors the architectural legacy of architect Luis Caravati (b. Italy 1820, arrives in Argentina in 1850 - d. Catamarca 1900), with a photographic album of some of his most emblematic neoclassic constructions in the city of Catamarca. Caravati was a pioneer in designing green and open spaces combined with the natural and urban landscape "He used sour orange trees with dense shadows and bright colors in their fruit, providing a green framework to further enhance the figure of the Cathedral Basilica. Leaving behind the image of a dry place, full of tuscas, jarillas, dwarf cacti and improvised paths, everything watered with water of the irrigation waterway from the river El Tala. (Our translation)"--P. 13.
