Architecture and Nature
The first book of the collection "Latin America: Thoughts" presents a collection of Abilio Guerra's texts that gravitate around a birthmark of modernism in Brazil. At issue is the belief (found in texts, narratives and speeches from 1920-1940) in an alternative modern action – where culture and nature play leading roles – which because of its discursive effectiveness metamorphoses into real features of Brazilian modern architecture.
Latin American Modern Architectures
Latin American Modern Architectures: Ambiguous Territories has thirteen new essays from a range of distinguished architectural historians to help you understand the region’s rich and varied architecture.

Other aspects in this study, and basic to the understanding the work of Likeskind, is this interest in art. He is also noted for his artistic production as a graphic illustrator during the 1950s and 1960s.
Modernity in Black and White
In his first single-authored English-language work, Rafael Cardoso offers a re-evaluation of modern art and modernism in Brazil.
