This book follows Henry Klumb's life in architecture from Cologne,
Germany to Puerto Rico. Arriving on the island, Klumb was a
one-time German immigrant, a moderately successful designer, and
previously a senior draftsman with Frank Lloyd Wright. Over the
next forty years Klumb would emerge as Puerto Rico's most prolific,
locally well-known, and celebrated modern architect. In addition to
becoming a leading figure in Latin American modern architecture,
Klumb also became one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most accomplished
proteges, and an architect with a highly attuned social and
environmental consciousness. Cruz explores his life, works, and
legacy through the lens of a sense of place, defined as the beliefs
that people adopt, actions undertaken, and feelings developed
towards specific locations and spaces. He argues that the
architect's sense of place was a defining quality of his life and
work, most evident in the houses he designed and built in Puerto
Rico. Puerto Rico's Henry Klumb offers a historical narrative,
culminating in a series of architectural analyses focusing on four
key design strategies employed in Klumb's work: vernacular
architecture, the grid and the landscape, dense urban spaces, and
open air rooms. This book is aimed at researchers, academics, and
postgraduate students interested in Latin American architecture,
modernism, and architectural history.
