Summary:
The Architecture Observer offers an overview of different forms of modern architecture in Central America since the outset of the 20th century. Although modern architectures constituted only a small percentage of the total building production in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, they hold in these countries an evident symbolic significance. Such buildings functioned as models for the desired societal, economic, and cultural changes, or as aspirational placeholders for a future state of modernity. With contributions by Mauricio Quirós Pacheco, Andrés Fernández, Hans Ibelings, Gloria Grimaldi, Sandra Gutiérrez, Martín Majewsky, and others.

Olivier Lazzarotti aborde ici les thématiques du tourisme et du patrimoine, non séparément, mais ensemble, par l’étude des liaisons qui articulent ces deux phénomènes sociaux. En analysant les très nombreux lieux où patrimoine et tourisme sont co-présents, d’Angkor au Costa-Rica, de la réserve camerounaise du Dja à Amiens, à Hanoï ou Hiroshima, l’auteur fait le constat que, contrairement aux idées répandues, le tourisme ne détruit pas le patrimoine, pas plus que le patrimoine n’entrave ou interdit le tourisme, mais que l’un et l’autre entretiennent un dialogue à la fois ininterrompu et aux facettes changeantes et multiples.

Summary:
We are witnessing a time of unprecedented migration to urban centres, and as such it is imperative to analyse what makes communities thrive. The density and urban fabric of neighbourhoods has a direct influence on the frequency and opportunity of interaction of locals. Nurturing and maintaining public amenities, green spaces, and infrastructure – both visible and invisible – in turn nurtures community as a whole and society at large. Among the sixteen featured projects are a scout hut in Copenhagen, a media library in Tbilisi, a grocery store in Italy, a community centre in Costa Rica, a bamboo sports hall for a school in Thailand, and an educational park in Colombia.
