Item Number: 134549 Title: Latin America in Construction: Architecture 1955-1980 Author: Bergdoll, Barry (et al) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9780870709630 Description: New York: Museum of Modern Art, 2015. 28cm., hardcover, 320pp. illus. Summary: In 1955 The Museum of Modern Art staged "Latin American Architecture since 1945," a landmark survey of modern architecture in Latin America. Published in conjunction with a new exhibition that revisits the region on the 60th anniversary of that important show, "Latin America in Construction: Architecture 1955-1980" offers a complex overview of the positions, debates and architectural creativity from Mexico and Cuba to the Southern Cone between 1955 and the early 1980s. The publication features a wealth of original materials that have never before been brought together to illustrate a period of self-questioning, exploration and complex political shifts that saw the emergence of the notion of Latin America as a landscape of development. Richly illustrated with architectural drawings, vintage photographs, sketches and newly commissioned photographs, the catalogue presents the work of architects who met the challenges of modernization with innovative formal, urbanistic and programmatic solutions. Today, when Latin America is again providing exciting and challenging architecture and urban responses, "Latin America in Construction" brings this vital postwar period to light.
