12La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The multi hued houses that line up La Boca are a reflection of its 19th century lifestyle. European migrants made their way into the city to work as laborers in the dock. They has little disposable income, which made them more resourceful and inventive. The immigrant homes were built from sheet metal and leftover paint available in the docks. There was no concept of uniformity or continuity. They simply used a different shade when one ran out, thus lending their homes a vibrantly colored appeal. Artistic recreations today recreate the charm of the erstwhile immigrant homes, along with the actual structures lined up on the street.
