Abstract

GIRELLI, Francisco. Morten F. Rønnow. An. Inst. Arte Am. Investig. Estét. Mario J. Buschiazzo [online]. 2019, vol.49, n.1, pp.125-140. ISSN 2362-2024.

In recent decades, numerous publications have addressed the "Otto Wulff" building, designed by the Danish architect Morten F. Rønnow, located at the intersection of Peru Street and Belgrano Avenue in Buenos Aires city. There is an entire mythology around this building, and maybe for that reason it has awakened such interest. However, not much is known about its author's life, his education, his arrival to Argentina and his production as an architect in the country and abroad. It is the purpose of this article to provide information to compose a biography that could include a panorama of his major works. Different archives have been used in the documentary research and, mostly, data provided by his daughter, Isabel Rønnow.

Keywords : Morten Rønnow; biography; Danish architects; Otto Wulff building.
