The Houses of Guadalajara: Ghosts of Modernity

This book studies the origins and late evolution of modern Mexican architecture through a series of houses built by two generations of architects during the 1920s and 1980s in Guadalajara. In so doing, it proposes an alternative history of Mexican architecture-positioning Guadalajara as a counterpoint to Mexico City, and putting forward a series of works and ideas that suggest a new relationship between innovation and tradition.
