What Aisenson Arquitectos does

Aisenson Arquitectos is a Buenos Aires-based architecture firm founded in 1934 by José Aisenson, providing architectural design, construction direction, project management, and urban planning services across residential, commercial, institutional, and mixed-use typologies. The firm has produced more than 4,000,000 m² of built work and has participated in over 80 architectural competitions, winning approximately 30 awards including the Gran Premio Bienal de Arquitectura (2000, SCA-CPAU) and the AIA Top Team Award (2002, jointly with HOK International). The practice is led by six named partners spanning multiple generations of the Aisenson family alongside partner architects, supported by a staff of approximately 35-40 professionals, and integrates two internal vehicles: ASN/nOISE, a research and competition office established in 2006, and New Fidu, a 2007 subsidiary administering real estate developments under trust modality. The client base is concentrated in real estate developers, Argentine financial institutions (Banco Ciudad, Banco Galicia, Banco de Córdoba), corporates (YPF), and government and cultural institutions (Gobierno de Paraguay, ITBA), with international projects spanning Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay, Israel, the USA, and Spain.

The firm generates revenue through project-based professional service fees for design, construction management, and site supervision, with deal flow driven by architectural competition wins, direct commissions, and long-tenured relationships with developers and institutions. GTM is sales-led and reputation-led rather than marketing-led: competition participation, the ASN/nOISE thought-leadership platform (including the 'Propuesta Decente' annual debate cycle), co-architect collaborations with international firms (HOK, ODA, PRUS Architects, Patxi Mangado, Felipe Uribe de Bedout), and academic publication in the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes' 'Historia General del Arte en la Argentina' sustain deal origination. Reported operating geographies cover Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay, the USA, Israel, and Spain.
