Gardens contain time, culture, and nature. They are powerful symbolic spaces onto which a society can project its ideals, either to conjure or contrive cultural change, rooting them in the flow of natural processes. Five authors explore the variety of relationships between garden making and cultural change in Argentina, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States. They(...)

Résumé:
Gardens contain time, culture, and nature. They are powerful symbolic spaces onto which a society can project its ideals, either to conjure or contrive cultural change, rooting them in the flow of natural processes. Five authors explore the variety of relationships between garden making and cultural change in Argentina, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States. They show how gardens express popular cultural invention and attempts at political manipulation, as well as provide places of cultural resistance by subjugated people. Issues of identity and ideology; political coercion and resistance apply equally throughout the continent, inviting a renewed attention to gardens as places where cultural identities are forged and contested.

This book brings together the most recent buildings and projects by the Mexican architect Alberto Kalach, with particular emphasis on the first steps of the process of each of these. As if it were a sort of log or sketch pad, the book sets out to highlight the essence of his ideas and the immediacy of his first few pencil strokes. Structured typologically, the tour through Kalach's work takes in single-family houses, apartment buildings, various designs for tower blocks and his famous project for the lake city (awarded a prize at the 2002 Venice Biennale), in which he proposes rehydrating the dried up aquiferous areas of Mexico City.

Résumé:
Based in Mexico City, the architectural studio PRODUCTORA was founded by Abel Perles, Carlos Bedoya, Victor Jaime, and Wonne Ickx. In creating buildings that function, delight, stimulate, and are likely to withstand tectonic fads as well as telluric shifts, the studio never compromises the restless intellectual curiosity at its heart. Both a compendium and a promise of this singularity, this book surveys the groundwork PRODUCTORA has set down over a decade of activity, presaging what is possible as these foundations continue to be built upon. Their work is distinguished by an interest in precise geometries and the search for timeless material and spatial resolutions.

All the great cities of the world have witnessed the birth of bars and restaurants in the image of a new generation - a free and pleasure-loving generation who frequent them and identify with them.

Résumé:
Barragan's 1,250-acre Gardens of El Pedregal subdivision, begun in 1945 on the lava fields south of Mexico City, were dotted with houses and plazas, fountains and ponds, cacti and pepper trees. He considered El Pedregal his most important project, and critics have described the houses and gardens there as a turning point in Mexican modern architecture. This book examines El Pedregal's programme and form, its representation in architect-commissioned photographs and advertising, and its place within contemporary discourses on cultural identity, design and place, and suburbanisation. It offers an in-depth analysis of this project through original documents, drawings, photographs, and critical examinations of the design and marketing processes.

Jean-Baptiste Bernadet used material that was easy to find, gouache on hardboard, and painted as slowly as possible to keep himself busy for 8 weeks, trying to reflect the beauty of his surroundings, the suspension of time, the epic sunrises and sunsets, the choir of birds singing at dawn, the colours and textures of the walls, the blooming trees, the bike rides under a hard, uncompromising sun, the peaceful nights of rest in loving arms.
