The Making of Mexican Modernist Architecture

This book presents the making of Mexican Modernist architecture through five power structures – academic, social status, economic/political, gender, and postcolonial – and by interviews and analysis of 13 key Mexican architects.

Artifacts of Revolution

This innovative history argues that we can understand important facets of the Mexican Revolution by analyzing the architecture designed and built in Mexico City during the formative years from 1920 to 1940.

Der Band leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zu verflechtungsgeschichtlichen Perspektiven auf die US-amerikanische Kunstgeschichte, der intermediale und transnationale Aushandlungen, aber auch Gender Aspekte zentral in den Vordergrund rückt. Erste Studie zu einem vergessenen fotografischen Medium Vorgeschichte der Fototapete Ein bislang unbekanntes Kapitel der US-amerikanischen Kunst
