Inventory

Adamo-Faiden
Sebastian Adamo & Marcelo Faiden

This book is built from images, drawings and texts. These three types of documents are exposed in an elemental way, alone in the center of each page and isolated from the project to which they belong. The authors organized the inventory from a set of documents that first claim their independence and then undergo a peer dialogue. These two actions may seem to cancel each other out, but they actually both reaffirm a very basic idea, which holds that the interest of a conversation is closely related to the consistency of its interlocutors. The conversation that arises from each diptych is precisely what stimulates the appearance of a tacit project. A project that bypasses material organizations and that is only possible due the intervention of an active reader, capable of establishing connections between the printed documents.
This book is a twofold response to what are the disciplinary assets that the architecture studio Adamo-Faiden produces and how they should be organized to accurately delineate the authors’ interests.
Adamo-Faiden is established in Buenos Aires by Sebastian Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Their practice extends to the field of teaching and research, and has been internationally recognized by different media and institutions. Their works were exhibited at the Sao Paulo Architecture Biennial, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Chicago Architecture Biennial, the LIGA Architecture gallery in Mexico, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt, the Storefront for Art & Architecture in New York, and at Princeton University School of Architecture.
