The histories of Mexico and the United States have been intertwined
since the 18th century, when both were colonies of European
empires. America's fascination with Mexican culture emerged in the
19th century and continues to this day. In turn, Mexico looked to
the U.S. as a model of modernity, its highways and high-rises
emblematic of "The American Way of Life." Exploring the design
movements that defined both places during the 20th century, this
book is arranged into four sections- Spanish Colonial inspiration,
Pre-Hispanic Revivals, Folk Art and Craft Traditions, and
Modernism. Featured are essays by leading scholars and
illustrations of more than 300 works by architects and designers
including Richard Neutra, Luis Barraga n, Charles and Ray Eames,
and Clara Porset. The word translation originally meant "to bring
or carry across." The constant migration between California and
Mexico has produced cultures of great richness and complexity,
while the transfers of people and materials that began with
centuries-old trade routes continue to resonate in modern society,
creating synergies that are "found in translation."
