libretto of modern reflections and contemporary works Brea, Ana de creator author. text bibliography nyu 2016 2015 monographic eng one EPUB e-book (144.4MB) "This book is not about a folk or typical Latin American architecture. Latin America is not some faraway, isolated region, rather a huge and universal laboratory. It shows a different Latin America through its recent architecture, which flourishes in our time of global communications. It does have roots in the past; but does not appeal to nostalgia. Architecture thought for the present and designed for the near future. Total Latin American Architecture intends to communicate a targeted objective, to circumscribe a segment, a series of observations and actions in architecture."-- Provided by publisher.
