Armando Salas Portugal Photographs of the Architecture of Luis Barragán
Pictorial study of the work of the influential twentieth century Mexican architect
Armando Salas Portugal
Esta obra invita a recorrer los diversos territorios por los que Armando Salas Portugal transitó en su vida como artista y caminante.

Un México eterno a través del objetivo de un artista por descubrir.
Intersections
Intersections represents a newly emergent approach to the history of architecture that addresses both the relevance of critical theories to an historical understanding of architecture and the development of those theories.
The Roof Garden Commission
The work of Mexican artist Héctor Zamora engages with urban or built environments, both disrupting and rearticulating the viewer’s interaction with the site. Lattice Detour, his most recent intervention, commissioned by The Met for its Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, is fabricated from terracotta bricks produced in Mexico and transported to New York. This compact volume, the first book in English on Zamora, presents images and analysis of the new artwork, setting its creation in the context of his past work. An interview with Zamora sheds further light on his formation as an artist, his process, and his inspirations.

Examining the photographic collection that Alberto Sartoris donated to the Swiss federal government, this text throws light on a poorly understood aspect of 20th century architecture, namely the mechanisms behind the creation and diffusion of the 'image of modern architecture'.
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. While best known for the experimental museum El Eco and his collaborations with the architect Luis Barrag n, including the brightly colored towers of Satellite City, Goeritz also shaped the Bauhaus-inspired curriculum at Guadala...
Radical Cities
"In Radical Cities, Justin McGuirk treks across Latin America to discover the activist architects, maverick politicians and radical communities rethinking their cities for the twenty-first century. From Brazil to Venezuela, Mexico to Argentina, McGuirk finds new ways to address the issues of poverty, inequality, and the barrio"--Back cover.
Integral Sustainable Design
This book offers practical and theoretical tools for more effective sustainable design solutions and for communicating sustainable design ideas to today's diverse stakeholders. It uses Integral Theory to make sense of the many competing ideas in this area and offers a powerful conceptual framework for sustainable designers through the four main perspectives of: Behaviours, Systems, Experiences and Cultures. It also uses human developmental theory to reframe sustainable design across four levels of complexity present in society: the Traditional, Modern, Postmodern, and Integral waves. Profuse with illustrations and examples, the book offers many conceptual tools including: - Twelve Principles of Integral Sustainable Design - Sixteen Prospects of Sustainable Design - Six Perceptual Shifts for Ecological Design Thinking - Five Levels of Sustainable Design Aesthetics - Ten Injunctions for Designing Connections to Nature
