(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
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
libro estudia los orÃgenes y la evolución tardÃa de la arquitectura moderna
mexicana a través de una serie de casas
construidas por dos generaciones de arquitectos durante las décadas de 1920 y 1980 en Guadalajara. De esta
forma, se propone una historia alternativa de la arquitectura mexicana,
situando a Guadalajara como contrapunto a la Ciudad de México y presentando diversas
obras e ideas que
sugieren una nueva relación
entre innovación y
tradición. Este es también, inevitablemente, un libro
sobre Luis Barragán y la larga sombra que su figura proyecta sobre la arquitectura mexicana. La publicación explora su
obra temprana, poco conocida, realizada como
parte de una generación de
arquitectos-ingenieros
conocida como la Escuela TapatÃa, que en la década de 1920 desarrolló una
reinterpretación abstracta y estilizada de la arquitectura regional de Jalisco.
Aún menos conocida es la generación de arquitectos que iniciaron su carrera en
Guadalajara a principios de la década de 1980. Este grupo
tomó el trabajo de
Barragán y sus colegas de los años veinte como punto de partida para su propia
producción, dando lugar a un eco de un eco una reinterpretación a lo largo del tiempo de un
original cada vez más distante y abstraÃdo.
