Even less well known\u003cbr\u003eis the generation of architects who began their careers in Guadalajara in the\u003cbr\u003eearly 1980s. This group took the work of Barragán and his colleagues from the\u003cbr\u003e1920s as the starting point for its own production, resulting in an \"echo of an\u003cbr\u003eecho\"--a reinterpretation through time of an increasingly distant and abstracted\u003cbr\u003eoriginal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-\tBetween tradition and abstraction: the architectural legacy of Pritzker Prize winner Luis Barragán in Mexico during the 1980s and 1990s\u003cbr\u003e-\tFeaturing illustrative project profiles and critical texts\u003cbr\u003e-\tWith numerous new photos and drawings \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEste\u003cbr\u003elibro estudia los orígenes y la evolución tardía de la arquitectura moderna\u003cbr\u003emexicana a través de una serie de casas\u003cbr\u003econstruidas por dos generaciones de arquitectos durante las décadas de 1920 y 1980 en Guadalajara. De esta\u003cbr\u003eforma, se propone una historia alternativa de la arquitectura mexicana, \u003cbr\u003esituando a Guadalajara como contrapunto a la Ciudad de México y presentando diversas\u003cbr\u003eobras e ideas que\u003cbr\u003esugieren una nueva relación\u003cbr\u003eentre innovación y\u003cbr\u003etradición.
