Modern Architectures in Central America

Save this picture!

This book offers an overview of different forms of modern architecture in Central America since the beginning of the twentieth century. Even if 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. Often they functioned as models for the desired societal, economic, and cultural changes, or as aspirational placeholders for a future state of modernity.
With contributions by Andrés Fernández, Gloria Grimaldi, Sandra Gutiérrez Poizat, Hans Ibelings, Martín Majewsky, Darién Montañez, Raúl Monterroso, Florencia Quesada Avendaño, and Mauricio Quirós Pacheco.
