Since the sensuous Modernism pioneered by Oscar Niemeyer in Brazil,
Latin America has become one of the most exciting locations for
contemporary architecture in the world. Alejandro Aravena and Paulo
Mendes da Rocha, both recent Pritzker Prize winners, are just two
very different examples of the wide architectural range, set amid
varied climates, social conditions and environments, that has
brought international attention to a continent making a name for
itself as a centre for innovation and experimentation. From the
dramatic plateaux of the Andes to the lush tropics of the Amazon to
the world's driest desert, the Atacama, the rich range of climates,
terrains and cultural influences across Latin America offers
significant opportunities to create new residential architecture.
This overview showcases the most accomplished and rarely seen
contemporary houses, by established names - Isay Weinfeld, Mathias
Klotz and Marcio Kogan - as well as the rising talents now
receiving recognition on the world stage, including Pezo von
Ellrichshausen and Giancarlo Mazzanti. Following an introduction
that sets out the development of Latin American architecture since
Niemeyer, the book reveals how each house has gone beyond its brief
in stunning and unexpected ways, resulting in buildings that
transcend their time and place.
