Mexico City The Mexican poetic imagination creates gardens, houses and fonteins of breathtaking beauty: metaphysical landscapes for mediation and serenity. The interplay of mass and emptiness, an inheritance from the Aztec architecture, remains consistently present in the modern and contemporary architecture: masa y vacío. Above all, they integrated the phenomenal muralism, the supreme expression of post-revolutionary art. Not out of selfishness, but out of a deep sense of their own value, the Mexican modernist architects reinterpreted the dogmas of the USA and Europe. Color y pasión.īut underneath, the Mexican architecture is so much more than the photogenic colour use. And not least the mystical deep pink of Luis Barragán. The sun-drenched ochre of Ricardo Legoretta. The cutting red of Diego Rivera or Juan O’Gorman.

This is what Mexicans are like, and this is also their history. Check out the full list here.Romantic, passive, sensual, tragic and cruel. Of course, ten buildings can only provide an abridged version of concrete’s possibilities, and Moore cheekily apologizes for some of the obvious omissions. Moore’s list affirms that a material simultaneously strong and light, durable, sustainable, and fire-resistant, can scarcely be considered anything short of miraculous. In a list that incorporates examples from Classical times to the present, Moore establishes concrete’s unique ability to adapt to different times, styles, applications, and treatments.Įxamples by Le Corbusier, Álvaro Siza, Lina Bo Bardi, and Marcel Breuer demonstrate that concrete is anything but workaday or utilitarian. Through examples spanning three continents, Moore unites old standbys with unexpected wonders, all of which show the varied possibilities inherent in mixing water, aggregate, and cement. “Concrete has the ability to be primitive and technological, massive and levitating, to combine the properties of steel with those of mud,” says Rowan Moore in his list of The 10 best concrete buildings created for The Guardian. ![]() In structural terms, they are efficient because they resist compression efforts and absorb at specific points on their surface, especially near the supports - small moments of flexion. The shells arise from the association between concrete and steel and are structures whose continuous curved surfaces have a minimal thickness thus they are widely used in roofs of large spans without intermediate supports. The importance of the structural thought that culminates in the constructed object is then, taken by the relationship between form and structure. Thus, you can't conceive a form without automatically conceiving a structure and vice versa". Every form has a structure, and every structure has a form. "You can't imagine a form that doesn't need a structure or a structure that doesn't have a form. However, if we bend it, the sheet achieves a new structural quality. ![]() ![]() If we tried to stiffen it from its primary state, it couldn't support its own weight.
