Enrique Buenaventura Juan Seoane Ros (Lima, January 12, 1915 – July 26, 1980) was a Peruvianmodernistarchitect of the 20th century.[1]
Early life
Seoane was born in Lima on January 12, 1915, to parents Buenaventura Guillermo Seoane García and Rosario Ros Gutiérrez. He studied at the Colegio de La Inmaculada and followed architecture courses at the National School of Engineers, predecessor of the National University of Engineering (UNI).[2]
He was a supporter in favor of a modern style of architecture that would replace the old-fashioned French-style of Lima, and supported—but did not sign—a manifesto that was published in El Comercio and El Arquitecto Peruano in 1947 that supported this movement.[2]
