Ángel Guido practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.
The record lists Ángel Guido as Argentine architect, engineer and writer.
Ángel Guido was born at Rosario in 1896. His recorded nationality is Argentina. He trained at National University of Córdoba.
Modernism rejected ornament and historical style, arguing that a building should express its structure and its function - a claim contested ever since.
He is recorded as architect, engineer and writer.
Among his best-known works are National Flag Memorial, "Dr. Julio Marc" Provincial Historical Museum and Correo Central de Rosario. Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.
Recognition followed: Guggenheim Fellowship.
That the work was built in Argentina shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Ángel Guido died in 1960, aged 64. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
