Carmen Córdova de Baliero, born in Buenos Aires in 1929, was an Argentine architect, who was part of the OAM Group (Modern Architecture Organization).
Her membership in OAM transformed her way of understanding architecture, especially Le Corbusier's texts, and Max Bill's aesthetic and architectural reference. This moment coincided with her work as a draftsman, together with Solsona and Katzenstein, of the Plan for the South District of the city of Buenos Aires directed by Antonio Bonet.
In 1986 she was elected Academic Secretary in the dean of Juan Manuel Borthagaray at FADU-UBA for two terms, and then she would be elected dean. Together they created the careers of Graphic Design and Industrial Design, based on electives subjects that were offered in the architecture career.
She was the first female dean of the Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Urbanism of the University of Buenos Aires in 1994. In 2001 Carmen Córdova wrote a book Memories of modernity, as a rebellious response to a global and unjust world that did not satisfy her and with which she disagreed. In 2004 she received the Artistic Career Award from the National Endowment for the Arts. She passed away in Buenos Aires on February 2, 2011.
