Building the New World : Studies in the Modern Architecture of Latin America 1930-1960
Latin-America, Verso Books, 2001 Paperback, 280 pages, ENG, 195 x 195 mm, very good condition, full of illustrations in colour and b/w. ISBN 9781859843079.
The period between 1930 and 1960 in particular saw a dramatic upsurge in Latin American modern architecture as the various governments strove to make public their modernising intentions. After 1960, however, the year in which Brasilia was inaugurated, economic growth in the region slowed and the modernist project faltered. The English-speaking world, which had previously admired Latin American buildings, began to write them out of the history of twentieth-century architecture. Building the New World attempts to redress the balance. It surveys the most important examples of state-funded modernism in Latin America during a period of almost unimaginable optimism, when politicians and architects such as Pani, Costa, Reidy and Niemeyer sought ways, literally, to build their societies out of underdevelopment.
The continent of America. Its discovery and its baptism. An essay on the nomenclature of the old continents. A critical and bibliographical inquiry into the naming of America and into the growth of the cosmography of the new world; together with an attempt to establish the landfall of Columbus on Watlin Island, and the subsequent discoveries and explorations on the main land by Americus Vespucius. (Reprint).
Amsterdam, Meridian, 1971, in-4°, XX + 270 p., richly illustrated in the text and full page, and with 14 fac-simile maps, original cloth binding.
Unabridged reprint of the edition, New York 1896. “The chief purpose of this book is to establish the time and the place of the naming of America. Baptism suggests birth, and the naming of America leads us back to its discovery.” (Preface).
