This study explores architectural imitation in relation to preservation, using Mexico City and Buenos Aires as case studies, emphasizing the period 1880-1930, which carried on the first important architectural and urban transformation after independence in Latin America. By using architectural forms being employed in Europe at the time and whose focus was located in Paris, Mexico city and especially Buenos Aires made extensive use of eclectic forms. This eclecticism and its cosmopolitanism was a truly architecture international style located in several continents besides Europe and America in Asia and Africa. Architects and urban planners proclaimed the dictum of Paris' architectural schools in cities like Washington, Mexico City and Buenos Aires that shared the same spirit of time. This period can be considered modern despite the use of forms and elements from styles of the past because its attitudes and feelings were cosmopolitan, embracing new construction technologies together with new materials like cement, steel and glass and their application to new buildings. Artistic and architectural forms of colonial and pre-Hispanic origin were found together with art deco, modernism and avant-garde'. It is within this period that preservation was introduced as a nationalistic attitude and together with it was also fostered the use of baroque, indigenous and colonial forms; alas, the demolition of traditional fabrics to raise modern buildings was accepted by most as a necessary condition to reach the modernization sponsored by the elite. However the centralism expressed through the intervention of the capital cities allowed to preserve intact the greater part of colonial cities since progress did not arrive there, and those cities were the majority.
