Latin America is a vast, vibrant, diverse and fascinating continent, qualities reflected in its peoples, geography, culture, and, of course, its architecture. This striking book presents a survey of the 50 best houses from across Latin America, showcasing a wide range of architectural styles, philosophies and designs from both well-established and up and coming Latin American architects such as Una Arquitectos, BAK Arquitectos, and Javier Corvalán. All of the firms and practices featured have their own unique vision of how to approach the extremely varied locations offered by the continent, and the best way to translate domestic ideals and fantasies into excellent built work. Each house is documented comprehensively with detailed photography, sections and plans, and placed into context by descriptive texts written by respected architectural critics to give readers a privileged look at the best of Latin American domestic architecture.

21 spectacular examples of contemporary single-family houses in South and Central America. Besides the well-known masters of the 20th century such as Barragan, Niemeyer, and Costa, there is a vibrant and surprisingly varied architectural scene in Latin America just waiting to be discovered. Cultural diversity, an understanding of materials and regional character, a sensitive use of modern technology, and innovative yet aesthetic concepts all merge to produce stunning architecture. In this thematic publication Enrique Larra??aga, architect and Professor at the Simon Bolivar University in Caracas, presents some of the most exciting single-family houses built in recent years. Amongst the architects featured are Paulo Mendes da Rocha (Brazil), Ten Arquitectos with Enrique Norten (Mexico), Alberto Kalach (Mexico), Leopoldo Laguinge (Argentina), Enrique Browne (Chile). The buildings reveal the architecture of Latin America to be diverse, unique and avantgarde, well deserving a closer look.
