Casa Martos

adamo-faiden is an architecture studio that emerged from the ruins of the Argentinean corralito. After leaving the country and going to study and work in Europe, for Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden their return to post-crisis Argentina led to them reformulate their role as architects in the new social context they encountered. In their search for new programmes and job opportunities, the condominium of housing and offices (with a tradition in Buenos Aires stretching back to the 1950s) was the typology that permitted the studio to construct its first works, which they intervened in as both architects and builders. Since then, to this frequently explored typology they have added others that have gradually made adamo-faiden one of the most renowned studios in the Southern Cone.

This first publication of their oeuvre complète consists of 18 projects (15 of them built), including single-family houses, either new or renovated, among which we would highlight the Martos House; small pavilions for industry or for gated communities, such as the La Cándida Social Club; and various condominiums in Buenos Aires, like the one located at Calle 11 de Septiembre 3260.

The selection of buildings is preceded by a text by the Madrid architect Juan Herreros who provides a number of clues to understanding the work of the Argentinean studio, and another essay by the Argentinean architect Ricardo Fernández Rojas, who sets adamo-faiden’s projects within the context of modern architecture in Buenos Aires. The Nexus section includes a short text by adamo-faiden themselves (“The work of others”) and an extended conversation with Argentinean architect Ciro Najle.
