£55.00
Taxes included.
Shipping calculated at checkout.
The clash between rational architecture and the lush, organic beauty of tropical vegetation has resulted in some of the most visionary and futuristic buildings in existence.
Drawing on the principles of the Modernist style and the aesthetics of the Bauhaus movement, tropical countries such as Brazil and Mexico have developed their own distinctive interpretations of the international style, creating architecture that is both timeless and desirable and continues to exert a strong influence around the world.
In Concrete Jungle, we explore the work of architects influenced by tropical modernism, including Luis Barragán, Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Marcio Kogan.
