This issue of a+u magazine features the work of adamo-faiden, an architectural studio founded in Buenos Aires in 2005 by Sebastián Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. The architects trace nearly 20 years of their work through 34 projects, presented in chronological order.

Beginning in their early years with small residential projects, the firm is now transitioning into a new phase with an increasingly diverse practice, including a high-rise in central Buenos Aires and social housing in Europe. What remains consistent across all adamo-faiden’s work, regardless of scale, is their thoughtful approach to urban environments and their sensitivity to airflow. Even in the dense urban fabric of Buenos Aires, their designs feature permeable façades and layers of cohabitating plants at the building’s outer edges, creating a soft, fluid connection between interior and exterior. With housing projects as their primary focus, adamo-faiden fearlessly repeat these ideas, resulting in a body of work that pushes the boundaries of urban space and reimagines the relationship between architecture and its surroundings.
