Mathias Goeritz
The first major work in English on Mathias Goeritz (1915-1990), this book illuminates the artist's pivotal role within the landscape of twentieth-century modernism. Goeritz became recognized as an abstract sculptor after arriving in Mexico from Germany by way of Spain in 1949. His call to integrate abstract forms into civic and religious architecture, outlined in his "Emotional Architecture" manifesto, had a transformative impact on midcentury Mexican art and design.

Fernando González Gortázar
The present research work is based on original manuscripts and testimonies from architect González Gortázar (b. Mexico) regarding his transcendent architecture and urban designs. González Gortázar is considered at present one of the most important architects of México, creator of spaces and urban art that are now geometric symbols and references of the city of Guadalajara in México. The architect strongly practices the concept of "Space and Art" and where the city should never loose their social function for which it was originally conceived and constructed.

Modernización y nacionalismo de la arquitectura mexicana en cinco voces: 1925-1980
Los discursos teóricos de José Villagrán García, Luis Barragán, Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, Juan O’Gorman e Ignacio Díaz Morales son el cimiento a través del cual la autora asienta su búsqueda de los elementos que llevaron a la construcción de un país modernizado, lleno tanto de contradicciones, rivalidades y antagonismos como de acuerdos y reconocimientos. Más allá todavía, y desde una lectura estructuralista de la cultura, en donde un contexto y una sociedad específicos se interrelacionan con la producción y la toma de posturas de los diversos actores, Yolanda Bojórquez parte del análisis del discurso de los cinco arquitectos —todos ellos clave en el siglo XX en México—, para abrir la puerta a la configuración de una teoría de la arquitectura, un campo por lo general descuidado en nuestro país. Esta obra nos permite un acercamiento teórico especializado y apasionante, dirigido a estudiantes y profesionales de la arquitectura, así como a cualquier lector interesado en la arquitectura y su evolución en México y en la historia cultural que durante el siglo pasado constituyó esta nación.
