Mexican Contemporary

Descriere: Here are some of the most outstanding recent projects by Mexican architects and designers such as Jose de Yturbe, Manuel Mestre, Luis Barragán, and Ricardo Legorreta. The diverse traditions of Mexico's architectural and design history are reflected and re-created in their work: the mysterious monolithic architecture of the pre-Columbian era; the baroque, tile-clad cathedrals of the Catholic conquistadors; and the rugged character and massive proportions of the colonial hacienda.

To the three defining elements of Mexican architecture-- the wall, the courtyard, and the ubiquitous use of color--this new generation has brought exciting innovations of scale and texture, creating spaces of massive volume and surfaces of exposed adobe, rusted steel, and weathered timber and stone.

Notes on Peter Eisenman: The Gradual Vanishing of Architecture

8, A celebration of Peter Eisenman's illustrious career as architect, thinker, author, and educator Known for his architecture, writing, and teaching, Peter Eisenman (b. 1932) has shaped the field of contemporary architecture through innovative design and thinking. His works include single-family residences such as his "House" series (1968-75) and cultural structures such as the Wexner Center for the Arts, Ohio (1989), and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin (2005). Both his writings and his buildings have integrated architecture with philosophy in a manner that is playful and evocative. This volume brings together a distinguished group of architects and historians, teachers and students, and friends and colleagues to frame and explore Eisenman's many extraordinary contributions to the architectural discourse and to consider his legacy.
