LONDON HOUSES
CULTURAL CENTRES...
Upon observing recent architectural experimentation, what is certainly true is that examples of cultural centres are becoming increasingly more common, as compared to what was the case at the very beginning when few examples of this kind of structure could be found in the most enlightened parts of Europe.
LATIN AMERICAN HOUSES
Since the early twentieth century, Latin America has been home to some of the most compelling architecture - from the large-scale and otherworldly civic structures of the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer to the more intimate work of Mexico's Luis Barragan. In her new book "Latin American Houses", historian Mercedes Daguerre shows that this tradition of architectural innovation lives on in the work of such contemporary architects as 2006 Pritzker Prize-winner Paulo Mendes da Rocha (Brazil), Mathias Klotz (Chile), Angelo Bucci (Argentina), and LBC Arquitectos (Mexico), among others.Focusing on one-family houses that have been built over the past decade, this lively new title explores the elegance and innovation with which today's Latin American architects evolve their modernist heritage.
