Picturing Mexico: Architecture & Modernism
In partnership with the Edith Farnsworth House, architecture scholars Luis E. Carranza and Kathryn O’Rourke will explore ten photographs that shaped modern architecture and urban planning in Mexico.
In Mexico, architects used photography to stay connected to global design movements and communicate the ideas behind their work. Photographers, including Armando Salas Portugal and Lola Álvarez Bravo, developed innovative approaches to capturing the forms, spaces and concepts of modern Mexican architecture.
Through ten influential photographs, speakers Luis E. Carranza and Kathryn O’Rourke will explore how photography helped define and share Mexico’s modern architectural identity with audiences both at home and abroad.
