Ephemeral Architectures and Falsified Cities: Utopian Visions for Latin America - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Latin America, initially seen by Europeans as a land of mystery and opportunity, inspired tales of lost cities and sublime landscapes. After the wars of independence, the region sought new cultural, social, and political directions. Artists, architects, planners, politicians, scientists, and writers envisioned new societies, often in response to social upheaval, modernity, or a search for idealized orders. This book shows 19th and 20th-century Latin American utopias, examining their forms, manifestos, contexts, and connections to international experiments and our collective utopian imaginaries.
