Culture, politics, and the built environment
"Kathryn E. O'Rourke offers a new interpretation of the development of modern architecture in the Mexican capital in the first half of the twentieth century. Through an exploration of private houses, schools, a government ministry, and a workers' park, O'Rourke traces the intellectual history of Mexican modernism, showing close links between design, evolving understandings of national architectural history, folk art, and social reform"-- Provided by publisher.
