Résumé:
Beyond the Super-Square: Art and Architecture in Latin America After Modernism, which developed from a symposium presented by The Bronx Museum of the Arts in 2011, showcases original essays by distinguished Latin American architects, historians, and curators, whose research examines architecture and urban design practices in the region during a significant period of the twentieth century. Drawing from the exuberant architectural projects of the 1940s to the 1960s, as well as from socially engaged artistic practices of the present day, the essays in this collection reveal how the heroic visions and utopian ideals popular in architectural discourse during the modernist era bore complicated legacies for Latin America - the consequences of which are evident in such vastly uneven economic conditions and socially disparate societies found throughout the region today.

Aux composantes clés de l'architecture mexicaine - le patio, l'escalier et une utilisation débridée de la couleur -, architectes et designers ajoutent aujourd'hui leur fascination pour la matière - adobe, acier rouillé, pierres volcaniques - et pour les formes monumentales. À travers les travaux récents les plus significatifs d'architectes et de designers reconnus tels Luis Barragan, José de Yturbe et Manuel de Mestre, Mexique contemporain explore tout à la fois l'audace de ces créateurs et la diversité des racines auxquelles ils restent fidèles.

Résumé:
Nearly half a century after its inception, the city of Brasilia, designed by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer, and based on Le Corbusier's plans, continues to be one of the world's most widely debated architectural projects. Envisioned as an egalitarian, harmonically conceived environment, the city was designed to foster collectivity and integration. Central to this effort was the idea of the "Superquadra," large neighbourhoods, each with their own schools, shopping, and entertainment complexes. The latest volume in the CASE series, published in collaboration with Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, takes a new look at the Superquadra as a utopian concept, analyzing both its strengths and weaknesses. It features a rare interview with planner Lucio Costa as well as essays exploring the historical and cultural contexts of Brasilia, day-to-day life in the city, and its technical complexities and realities.

Résumé:
Dès la conquête, les occupants ibériques, espagnols d'abord, portugais ensuite, ont développé une stratégie de création de villes dans les somptueux paysages latino-américains. Localisation, fondation, urbanisme, architecture et peuplement, rien ne fut laissé au hasard. Que ce soit dans les sites vierges ou sur les emplacements des anciennes cités précolombiennes, règlements, lois et théories étaient à l'œuvre sous la férule des dirigeants pour assurer le pouvoir de Dieu et du Roi pour le bien des colons et des indigènes. Les échanges et influences réciproques entre l' « ancien » et le « nouveau » monde vont jusqu'à nos jours transformer utopies et réalités dans un fantastique laboratoire grandeur nature. La plus récente expérience en fut la modernité, courant international qui permit aux latino-américains, par son application locale, de s'inventer une identité contemporaine. Sous la direction de Jean-François Lejeune, des spécialistes américains et européens explorent cinq siècles de vies et de villes.
