Mexico has witnessed a renaissance in modern architecture in the past decade, which has been greatly influenced by the new ideas of younger architects.
These new ideas are based more on the external influences and the architecture of tectonics than cultural or historical references, and are changing the way Mexico is shaped today.
This fine publication reviews and analyses these alternative directions of modern Mexican architecture by illustrating and providing case studies of the work of the country's leading architects.
John V. Mutlow's work focuses on multi-family and single family housing, notably for the Hispanic community in Los Angeles, which has led to his professional exchanges with Mexican Architects. Professor Mutlow is the author of Ricardo Legorreta Architects and The American House, Design for Living.
