Honest Modernism presents the 40-year trajectory of Estudio Ramos, an architecture firm based in Buenos Aires and New York, led by Juan Ignacio Ramos and Ignacio Ramos. The book gathers some of the main projects developed through the years and offers an insight to the core features of their work. By means of photographs and descriptive texts, this publication portrays their most representative designs and a deep reflection on the principles of their art.

Rooted and connected to the modern architecture movement of “El Río de la Plata” (Buenos Aires/Montevideo) —and particularly inspired by the work of the Spanish architect Antonio Bonet— Estudio Ramos holds a distinctive style that has evolved by means of a deep respect for architecture’s principles and the pursuit of their own language. Guided by father and son, the multigenerational firm seeks to understand and interpret each project’s context, pursues the ideal scale and proportions and gives careful consideration to sustainability. Their goal is to encourage reflection through a simple, pure and honest architecture.
