Mexico's contemporary architecture was inspired by the vision of Luis
Barragán, one of Mexico's most influential 20th century architects. This
unique book showcases the original work of 26 contemporary Mexican
architects, with a wide variety of impressive architectural designs.
Containing over 370 full color photos and architectural plans, it takes
readers into a world of creativity and beauty, a world whose roots go
back centuries. These same architects succeed in creating their own
version of modernism, imbuing it with the warmth and vibrancy of their
native Mexico, featuring clean lines and raw color combinations. Yet
their work is infused with a modern ingenuity all their own. Each
architect's work is featured in a dedicated chapter showing one of their
recent projects. Today's Mexican architects, both young and old, bring a
new level of creativity to Mexico's architectural tradition.
