Märksõnad:
Not a typical overview of Latin American Architecture, the book uncovers a series of lineages that are often hidden or overlooked by international critics.

In each chapter, prominent contemporary architects across Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Argentina position their work within both historical and contemporary local and international traditions, revealing the often unconscious lineages, influences, and affinities that shape the contemporary Hispanic American architectural scene. Contributing architects and firms include AToT Architects, Plan:b Architects, Al Borde, UZ:AA, and Grupo Culata-Jovai among others. They position their work within the context of lesser internationally celebrated historic architects such as Ana Elvira Vélez, Felipe Uribe, Jorge Mario Gómez, Ítala Fulvia Villa, Juan Ángel Casasco, Román Fresnedo Siri, Gustavo Scheps, Juvenal Baracco, Emilio Soyer, Miguel Rodrigo Mazuré, and more. This strategy produces a decentering of the internationally established Latin American canon and reveals cross-pollinations among different Latin American countries, offering a dynamic, intergenerational view of architectural evolution that contrasts with typical static and monolithic perspectives.

This will be a crucial read for all researchers and students of Latin American architecture, history, and cultural heritage, as well as all those interested in exploring non-Western, Global South, and non-canonical architectural traditions.

Arvustused

The scholarship demonstrated in this book is outstanding, presenting a sophisticated understanding of both international architectural discourse and local traditions. By prioritizing practitioner voices, the book contributes meaningfully to the conversation about practice-based knowledge in architectural scholarship. By focusing on overlooked lineages and by grounding the analysis in local contexts and perspectives, the book offers a fresh perspective on Latin American architecture.

Professor Inés Martín Robles curates a compelling collection of original texts by practitioners who, through lived experience, everyday practice, and shared memories, are shaping the contemporary architectural and urbanistic cultural traditions in the continent. Situating these distinct practices and discourses, Martin Robles contributes a compelling conceptual framework that reveals common threads and nuanced local specificities, reclaims overlooked contributions, and expands the inherited canonical narratives.

This publication provides a significant and timely contribution to the dissemination of Latin American architecture within English-speaking countries, seeking to elevate the visibility and recognition of the regions rich, diverse, and frequently underrepresented architectural output, while promoting a deeper understanding of its cultural, social, and environmental dimensions. One of its strengths lies in its in-depth focus on a new generation of architects with limited international exposure but whose practices hold substantial regional significance.
