In 1955 The Museum of Modern Art staged Latin American Architecture since 1945, a landmark survey of modern architecture in Latin America. On the 60th anniversary of that important show, the Museum returns to the region to offer a complex overview of the positions, debates, and architectural creativity from Mexico and Cuba to the Southern Cone between 1955 and the early 1980s.This period of self-questioning, exploration, and complex political shifts also saw the emergence of the notion of Latin America as a landscape of development, one in which all aspects of cultural life were colored in one way or another by this new attitude to what emerged as the Third World. The 1955 exhibition featured the result of a single photographic campaign, but Latin America in Construction: Architecture 19551980 brings together a wealth of original materials that have never before been brought together and, for the most part, are rarely exhibited even in their home countries.The exhibition features architectural drawings, architectural models, vintage photographs, and film clipsShow more results Past eventsDreams and Visions in Latin American Architecture7 past occurrencesGallery experienceLatin America: The Politics of Monumentality2 past occurrencesGallery experienceLatin America: Formal Cities or Incremental Urbanism?3 past occurrencesGallery experienceLatin America: Housing the Majority
