"Contemporary Architecture in Latin America" is a new survey of the exciting developments in contemporary architectural practice in Latin America. Although there has been a long history of excellent practice in modern architecture in the region, within the last ten years a new group of dynamic and creative designers have attracted international attention. In the first section of the book, four essays by Latin American scholars offer a reflection on the conditions of architectural production in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile, as well as the relations between the design culture in those countries and current international trends. A second section presents a selection of recent, innovative and diverse projects from across the region.
