ARCHITECTURAL GUIDE MEXICO CITY - SARAH ZAHRADN...

Once the capital of the Aztec Empire  Mexico City has continu­ously evolved over the centuries
to become one of the largest megalopolises in the world. The exuberant metropolis of the
present day can be seen as a patchwork of Aztec  Hispanic  and contemporary Western cultures.
This guide not only covers large-scale projects such as the campus of the National Autonomous
University of Mexico  the site of vibrant  mural-covered buildings by some of the nation's
lead­ing architects from the 1950s. It also highlights lesser-known gems such as striking
modernist chapels and cutting-edge commercial buildings. This expanded edition explores the
work of internationally renowned architect Luis Barragán in detail and features an introduction
to contemporary architecture in Mexico. With its array of more than 200 images and its detailed
maps  Architectural Guide Mexico City takes readers on an exhaustive tour of the finest
buildings and monuments from across this vast megalopolis.
