(English / Spanish edition)
evolution of modern Mexican architecture through a series of houses built by
two generations of architects during the 1920s and 1980s in Guadalajara. In so doing,
it proposes an alternative history of Mexican architecture--positioning
Guadalajara as a counterpoint to Mexico City, and putting forward a series of works
and ideas that suggest a new relationship between innovation and tradition.
This is also, inevitably, a book about Luis
Barragán and the long shadow he cast over Mexican architecture. It explores his
early and little-known work as part of a generation of architect-engineers known
as the Escuela TapatÃa (the
Guadalajara School), which in the 1920s developed an abstract and stylized
reinterpretation of the regional architecture of Jalisco. Even less well known
is the generation of architects who began their careers in Guadalajara in the
early 1980s. This group took the work of Barragán and his colleagues from the
1920s as the starting point for its own production, resulting in an echo of an
echo--a reinterpretation through time of an increasingly distant and abstracted
original. - Between tradition and abstraction: the architectural legacy of Pritzker Prize winner Luis Barragán in Mexico during the 1980s and 1990s
- Featuring illustrative project profiles and critical texts
- With numerous new photos and drawings Este

Guadalajara a principios de la década de 1980. Este grupo
