Abstract

This concluding chapter discusses architecture as a means for creating community in Argentina. It focuses on the sites of the café and the gated community as two structures represented in contemporary film that contemplate community development from opposing perspectives. The café fosters a sense of belonging through nostalgia , while the gated community seeks to create community by bringing its members into an exclusive enclave.
