An Architect and Artist of Argentina

Clorindo Manuel José Testa was an Italian-Argentine architect and artist. Born in Benevento near Naples, Italy, he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1948. His path to architecture was shaped by his studies in naval engineering and then civil engineering. Following a two-year stay in Europe, he also became a painter.

As an architect, his style was influenced by his artistic nature, with projects characterized by the effects of colour, tension, metaphors, and plasticity. His notable architectural works include:
