The Houses of Alejo Martínez in Concordia: Building Argentine Modernity

Subscriber Access

Alejo Martínez, one of the main builders of Argentine modernity, turned the city of Concordia into a reference of the South American modernist movement. His extensive work on houses, such as Casa Péndola Díaz from 1925, Casa Marcone from 1928, or Casa Camaño from 1930, "changed the typology of the 'chorizo' house to compact housing, where straight volumes stand out, staggered from each other, and with terraces".

These words can be found in the introduction of 'Modern Movement in Concordia: Catalog of Alejo Martínez's Works', a text by Maria Alejandra Bruno, Exequiel Hernan Cáseres, and Jorge Daniel Sota, who have taken the task of compiling and presenting in detail his journey through the city.
