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. It will also introduce you to major projects that have not been written about in English. A foreword by historian Kenneth Frampton sets the stage for essays on well-known architects, such as Lucio Costa and Félix Candela, which will show you unfamiliar aspects of their work, and for essays on the work of little-known figures, such as Uruguayan architect Carlos Gómez Gavazzo and Peruvian architect and politician Fernando Belaúnde Terry. Covering urban and territorial histories from the n...
Construir y habitar la escuela
La Academia de Platón, que fue la primera escuela en Occidente, era un parque ubicado en la periferia de Atenas.

La entrada a este restablecimiento es guiada desde dos verbos que en el texto se a...

La historia de la arquitectura no es diferente y algunos libros recientes explicitan los orígenes racistas de la idea de estilo en la teoría de la arquitectura a partir del siglo XIX. Me parece fundamental revisar el concepto de “ordinario” que sirve de marco a este libro. Ordinario proviene del latín ordinarius, ordenado, organizado. ¿Por qué entonces nuestra pro...

Modern Architecture in Latin America: Art, Technology, and Utopia is an introductory text on the issues, polemics, and works that represent the complex processes of political, economic, and cultural modernization in the twentieth century. The number and types of projects varied greatly from country to country, but, as a whole, the region produced a significant body of architecture that has never before been presented in a single volume in any language.

The core content of this book describes the outcome of the Cyber-Physical System based Proactive Collaborative Maintenance project, also known as MANTIS, and funded b...
