"Latin American Modern Architectures 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 haven't been written about in English. A foreword by historian Kenneth Frampton sets the stage for essays on well-known architects, such as Luis Barragán and Félix Candela, which will show you unfamiliar aspects of their work, and for essays on the work of little-known architects, such as Lucio Costa and Joaquim Cardozo, which will spark your creativity. This book is your best source for historical and critical essays on a sampling of Latin America's diverse architecture, providing much-needed information on key case studies"-- Architecture Latin America History 20th century. 54081 Local ARCHITECTURE / Individual Architects & Firms / Essays. bisacsh 196837 Local ARCHITECTURE / History / Contemporary (1945-). bisacsh 196834 Local ARCHITECTURE / History / Modern (late 19th Century to 1945). bisacsh 196836 Local Del Real, Patricio 1966- 216404 Gyger, Helen 232020 6 NA702.5 lcc General L39 2013 0 0 lcc 0 0 beal 4 4 33 2012-12-12 amazon 53.95 501405 2 General NA702.5 L39 2013 91000000030346 2026-09-28 12:29:12 2026-09-22 1 63.95 2012-12-12 6
