Bauhaus, Bruno Zevi, Italo Calvino, and Other Themes of 20th-Century Mexican Architecture—Enrique X. de Anda Alanís

This book compiles previously unpublished texts by architect and Doctor of Art History Enrique X. de Anda Alanís about what can generally be understood as architectural culture. Written over the last 20 years, and despite the diversity of their origins—research, reflections, conferences, and seminars—they all rest on the author's fundamental and recurring theoretical lines, namely, the historiography and preservation of modern Mexican architecture. From the relationship of Mexican architecture with environments and ideas from other parts of the world, through a review of architectural history from unprecedented perspectives that focus on the wide range of cultural circumstances that influenced it, and reaching the author's necessary attention to the importance of preserving 20th-century architectural heritage, all these texts shed new light on key themes that invite a rethinking of Mexican architectural culture.
