Arquitecturas contemporáneas México. Mexico

by Manuel Cervantes Céspedes

At a crucial moment for Mexican architecture, Manuel Cervantes introduces us, in this new volume of the Prospectiva series, to an architectural Mexico that debates between tradition and modernity, between the formal and the informal , in a sociopolitical scenario that he describes as 'complex and very delicate.' The book brings together a careful selection of projects, developed at the level of plans and construction details , covering various scales and typologies , from urban interventions to object designs. The pages of this book reveal a panorama of architectural practices that, far from seeking stylistic homogeneity, celebrate diversity and cultural roots. The selected projects demonstrate how Mexican architects are finding creative ways to address contemporary problems, without losing sight of their cultural heritage. It includes works by established and emerging architects , offering a balance between different generations and approaches that enriches the dialogue and allows the reader to appreciate the evolution and continuity of certain ideas in Mexican architecture. Finally, the book stands out for its focus on built projects, a decision that underlines the importance of the execution process in understanding the Mexican reality. This emphasis on the tangible allows the reader to appreciate not only the ideas and concepts behind each project, but also their materialization in a context full of challenges." -- https://www-tccuadernos-com.translate.goog/prospectiva/571-arquitecturas-contemporaneas-mexico.html?_x_tr_sl=es&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc (accessed, 2/6/2025).
