Clorindo Testa in his studio in Buenos Aires. Testa is an Italian-Argentinian architect mostly known for his Biblioteca Nacional de la República Argentina and the Banco de Londres buildings in Buenos Aires. He is also a painter and I can relate to that a lot, being a painter myself.  His buildings, although labored under the Rationalist Movement, are full of tension, plasticity, color and texture, product of his more lyrical vein.
