Alejandro Bustillo (1889-1982) was an Argentine painter and architect who left his mark in various tourist destinations in Argentina, especially in the Andean region of the Patagonia.
Born in Buenos Aires on 18 May 1889, son of Maria Luisa Madero and Dr. Jose Maria Bustillo, he completed his secondary school studies in Otto Krause Technical School. He later entered the School of Architecture in the University of Buenos Aires and graduated from there as an architect in 1914.
He obtained his first professional experience working on the design of estancias, including one for his own family, Estancia La Primavera in 1918. Two years later he returned to Buenos Aires. After a visit to Paris, Bustillo undertook two major projects for Carlos Tornquist in Buenos Aires, by designing the familys house (now the Belgium Embassy) in 1923, and the Tornquist Bank (now the Credit Lyonais Bank) in 1928.
