Design in California and Mexico, 19151985: Found in Translation,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This groundbreaking book looks at the influence California and Mexico have had on each others architecture and design in the 20th century. The histories of Mexico and the United States have been intertwined since the 18th century, when both were colonies of European empires. Americas fascination with Mexican culture emerged in the 19th century and continues to this day. In turn, Mexico looked to the U.S. as a model of modernity, its highways and highrises emblematic of 'The American Way of Life.' Exploring the design movements that defined both places during the 20th century, this book is arranged into four sections Spanish Colonial inspiration, PreHispanic Revivals, Folk Art and Craft Traditions, and Modernism. Featured are essays by leading scholars and illustrations of more than 300 works by architects and designers including Richard Neutra, Luis Barragn, Charles and Ray Eames, and Clara Porset. The word translation originally meant 'to bring or carry across.' The constant migration between California and Mexico has produced cultures of great richness and complexity, while the transfers of people and materials that began with centuriesold trade routes continue to resonate in modern society, creating synergies that are 'found in translation.'
