The Alas Building (Spanish: Edificio Alas) is a Rationalist residential and office building located in the San Nicolás section of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It stands at a height of 141 metres (463 ft) and houses 41 floors. The building was transferred to the Argentine Air Force after the 1955 coup, and renamed ALAS ("wings"). The bunker was later converted into Argentine Public Television studios. These were relocated to Figueroa Alcorta Avenue in 1978, though two underground floors are still in occupied by parking spaces, a gym, the boiler room, bike racks and other amenities.

  • The Alas Building (Spanish: Edificio Alas) is a Rationalist residential and office building located in the San Nicolás section of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It stands at a height of 141 metres (463 ft) and houses 41 floors. Alas was the tallest building in Buenos Aires between 1955 and 1995, when it was surpassed by the Le Parc tower. It has long been a vital part of the skyline of Buenos Aires, together with other, neighboring buildings on Leandro Alem Avenue, such as the similar Comega Building (1930), as well as those built in the International style during the 1970s (notably the Catalinas Norte development). Recently, however, it was overshadowed by the construction of several towers in the Puerto Madero area; as of 2009, it remains the 20th tallest building in Argentina. The building was commissioned in 1950 by President Juan Perón for the Association of Unionized Latin American Workers (ATLAS, S.A.); he ordered that plans include an underground bunker for use in case of war or a coup d'état. Perón, however, did not seek refuge there during the 16 June 1955 bombing of Plaza de Mayo by the Argentine Navy in an attempted coup, nor was he able to do so during his eventual overthrow, three months later. The building was transferred to the Argentine Air Force after the 1955 coup, and renamed ALAS ("wings"). The bunker was later converted into Argentine Public Television studios. These were relocated to Figueroa Alcorta Avenue in 1978, though two underground floors are still in occupied by parking spaces, a gym, the boiler room, bike racks and other amenities. (en)

Fue el edificio más alto de Buenos Aires entre 1957 y 1994, superado por la Torre Le Parc. Por mucho tiempo fue parte vital del panorama urbano de Buenos Aires, junto con otra serie de edificios sobre la Avenida Leandro N. Alem, como el edificio Comega. Sin embargo, en la década del 2000 se vio opacado por la construcción de varias torres en San Nicolás y del complejo edilicio Catalinas Norte. Actualmente es el 20º edificio más alto en la Argentina. Originalmente concebido como edificio ATLAS (Agrupación de Trabajadores Latinoamericanos Sindicalizados S.A.), y encarado por la asociación de dicho nombre cuyo presidente era Carlos Aloé, funcionario del gobierno de Juan Domingo Perón.​ Durante la revolución Libertadora el edificio fue expropiado y entregado a la Fuerza Aérea Argentina, quien lo terminó y destinó a viviendas para personal de rangos variados. Además, transformó el nombre a "ALAS". En el bloque central del edificio hay nueve departamentos por piso, y originalmente el ALAS poseía su propio almacén de abastecimiento, además de locales comerciales de uso interno. (es)

Con i suoi 141 metri e 42 piani è stato l'edificio più alto di Buenos Aires dal 1957 al 1996, anno in cui venne superato dalla Torre Le Parc.

Ciò nonostante, a partire dagli anni 2000 l'Edificio Alas si vide messo in secondo piano dalla costruzione di varie altre torri nel quartiere di Porto Madero. Attualmente è il ventesimo edificio più alto d'Argentina. (it)
