Flooded with European immigrants, Argentina welcomed all artistic and architectural European styles, including Art Nouveau. There was an environment of huge investments and flexible rules for construction, which encouraged young architects from Europe to come and grow their portfolio to later go back to Europe. As a result of this, Argentina became the country outside of Europe with most art nouveau buildings.<ref name="buenos aires">{{cite web|url= http://www.artnouveau.eu/en/city.php?id=4|title=Art Nouveau European Route: Buenos Aires|website=www.artnouveau.eu|access-date=7 July 2019|archive-date=23 July 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200723161549/http://www.artnouveau.eu/en/city.php?id=4|url-status=live}}</ref> Cities with the most notable Art Nouveau heritage in Argentina are [[Buenos Aires]], [[Rosario]] and [[Mar del Plata]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://artnouveau.eu/en/map.php|title=Art Nouveau European Route: Map|website=www.artnouveau.eu|access-date=7 July 2019|archive-date=17 April 2019|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190417144224/http://artnouveau.eu/en/map.php|url-status=live}}</ref>

Paris was a prototype for Buenos Aires with the construction of large boulevards and avenues in the 19th century.<ref name="buenos aires" /> The local style along with French influence was also following Italian Liberty as many architects ([[Virginio Colombo]], [[Francisco Gianotti]], [[Mario Palanti]]) were Italians. In works of {{Interlanguage link|Julián García Núñez|es}} Catalan influence can be noted as he completed his studies in Barcelona in 1900 as well as in the work of Eduardo Rodríguez Ortega.<ref name="buenos aires" /> The influence of [[Vienna Secession]] can be found at Paso y Viamonte building, Club Español, Regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo and the Savoy hotel.<ref name="buenos aires" />

Some local features are the adaptation to the previously existent "chorizo house" format of buildings, which implied a relatively narrow façade for an actually deep building inside of the block, with multiple patios or holes for air and light; as well as the characteristic "cut corners" on every block that was a requirement by law in Buenos Aires since the end of the 1800s; material availability was also different than in Europe, and buildings will often be covered of a "simil piedra París" which was an imitation of the Parisian stone made by mixing cement with sand and different minerals.

The introduction of Art Nouveau in [[Rosario]] is connected to {{Interlanguage link|Francisco Roca Simó|es}} who trained in Barcelona.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.artnouveau.eu/en/city.php?id=47|title=Art Nouveau European Route: Rosario|website=www.artnouveau.eu|access-date=7 July 2019|archive-date=23 July 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200723165256/http://www.artnouveau.eu/en/city.php?id=47|url-status=live}}</ref> His {{Interlanguage link|Club Español building|es|Club Español de Rosario}} (1912) features one of the largest stained glass windows in Latin America produced (as well as tiling and ceramics) by the local firm Buxadera, Fornells y Cía.<ref name="club">{{cite web |url= http://artnouveau.eu/upload/magazine_pdf/cdf-20.pdf |title=The ''Coup de Fouet'' magazine, vol. 10 (2012), pp. 44–47 |access-date=7 July 2019 |archive-date=16 July 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200716033939/http://artnouveau.eu/upload/magazine_pdf/cdf-20.pdf |url-status=live}}</ref> The sculptor of the building is Diego Masana from Barcelona.<ref name="club" />

Belgian influence on Argentinian Art Nouveau is represented by the Villa Ortiz Basualdo, now hosting the [[Juan Carlos Castagnino Municipal Museum of Art]] in [[Mar del Plata]] where the furniture, interiors, and lighting are by [[Gustave Serrurier-Bovy]].
