Modernism Without Modernity: The Rise of Modernist Architecture in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, 1890-1940 Abstract : Why did machine-age modernist architecture diffuse to Latin America so quickly after its rise in Continental Europe during the 1910s and 1920s? Why was it a more successful movement in relatively backward Brazil and Mexico than in more affluent and industrialized Argentina? After reviewing the historical development of architectural modernism in these three countries, several explanations are tested against the comparative evidence. Standards of living, industrialization, sociopolitical upheaval, and the absence of working-class consumerism are found to be limited as explanations. As in Europe, Modernism

  • Title: the Avant-Garde in the Architecture and Visual Arts of Post
    1 Title: The avant-garde in the architecture and visual arts of Post-Revolutionary Mexico Author: Fernando N. Winfield Architecture_media_politics_society. vol. 1, no.3. November 2012 Mexico City / Portrait of an Architect with the City as Background. Painting by Juan O´Gorman (1949). Museum of Modern Art, Mexico. Commenting on an exhibition of contemporary Mexican architecture in Rome in 1957, the polemic and highly influential Italian architectural critic and historian, Bruno Zevi, ridiculed Mexican modernism for combining Pre-Columbian motifs with modern architecture. He referred to it as ‘Mexican Grotesque.’1 Inherent in Zevi’s comments were an attitude towards modern architecture that defined it in primarily material terms; its principle role being one of “spatial and programmatic function.” Despite the weight of this Modernist tendency in the architectural circles of Post-Revolutionary Mexico, we suggest in this paper that Mexican modernism cannot be reduced to such “material” definitions. In the highly charged political context of Mexico in the first half of the twentieth century, modern architecture was perhaps above all else, a tool for propaganda. ARCHITECTURE_MEDIA_POLITICS_SOCIETY Vol. 1, no.3. November 2012 1 2 In this political atmosphere it was undesirable, indeed it was seen as impossible, to separate art, architecture and politics in a way that would be a direct reflection of Modern architecture’s European manifestations. Form was to follow function, but that function was to be communicative as well as spatial and programmatic. One consequence of this “political communicative function” in Mexico was the combination of the “mural tradition” with contemporary architectural design; what Zevi defined as “Mexican Grotesque.” In this paper, we will examine the political context of Post-Revolutionary Mexico and discuss what may be defined as its most iconic building; the Central Library at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico.

  • Chapter 6. Agricultural Policy and Rural Poverty– 139
    Chapter 6. Agricultural policy and rural poverty– 139 Chapter 6. Agricultural policy and rural poverty Introduction There are several reasons to expect that agricultural policies have an impact on rural poverty in Mexico, and this view is widely held. First, the high incidence of poverty in rural areas and the fact that agriculture is a rural activity means that the two overlap in spatial terms. Consequently, many poor people are involved in agriculture, and a part of total agricultural output is provided by poor land-owners and poor labourers. Second, the historical role of the land tenure system in Mexico to redistribute wealth is closely connected to the agricultural sector for which land is a critical input: the process of dividing land holdings has an impact on agriculture, and the evolution of agriculture affects returns to land. These associations give rise to an expectation that agricultural policies can, should or do alleviate poverty in rural areas. Thus, while the focus of this study is on agricultural policies, and previous chapters have discussed their effects on the agricultural sector and commodity markets, in this chapter the effects of agricultural policies on rural poverty is explored in terms of the incidence of support. The focus on agricultural policy is maintained, save in those cases where programmes provided outside the confines of sectoral policy provide an important benchmark, so this assessment is strictly relevant to the impacts of agricultural policies on rural poverty.1 Moreover, the direct effects of income transfers are addressed, not second-round effects; the potential that an agricultural policy would generate greater regional short- or long-run economic growth that helps poorer people indirectly, by raising their wages for example, is not entertained here.2 Evidence shows that the reforms to agricultural policies brought about substantial improvements in the distribution of transfers, but this success is relative to a basis that, as of the early 1990s, exhibited a pronounced bias against the rural poor.

All rights reserved. www.elsevier.com/locate/worlddev http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2015.08.013 Authoritarian Survival and Poverty Traps: Land Reform in Mexico MICHAEL ALBERTUS a, ALBERTO DIAZ-CAYEROS b, BEATRIZ MAGALONI b and BARRY R. WEINGAST b,* a University of Chicago, USA b Stanford University, USA Summary. — Why do governments in underdeveloped countries pursue policies that undercut long-term economic growth? Focusing on Mexico’s massive but inefficient land reform, we argue that governments do so to underpin political survival. Using a panel dataset of Mexican states from 1917 to 1992, we find that land distribution was higher during election years and where the threat of rural unrest was greater. Furthermore, PRI support eroded more slowly in states receiving more reform. The program, which carried restrictive property rights, thus served the PRI regime’s electoral interests. But while land distribution generated a loyal political clientele, it generated steep costs – lower long-term economic growth. Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Mexican Plays with Architecture and Colour

Our study deals with four areas of using colour in a spatial composition on an architectural and urban scale. These are murals, i.e. monumental painting in the structure of architectural objects, colour- ful traditional and modern architecture, ornamental forms and structures, and current trends in the revalorisation of historical cities. Keywords: Mexican architecture, spatial composition, colour in architecture Streszczenie W kulturze Meksyku dużą rolę odgrywa kolor. W opracowaniu ukazano cztery ob- szary zastosowania koloru w kompozycji przestrzennej w skali architektonicznej i ur- banistycznej. Są to murale, czyli monumentalne malarstwo w strukturze obiektów architektonicznych, barwna architektura tradycyjna i nowoczesna, formy i struktury dekoracyjne oraz aktualne tendencje w rewaloryzacji miast zabytkowych. Słowa kluczowe: architektura meksykańska, kompozycja przestrzenna, kolor w architekturze * Assoc. Prof. Ph.D. D.Sc. Arch. Leszek Maluga, Department of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, Faculty of Architecture, Wrocław University of Technology. 123 1. Games with space Constructing is a necessity for some people, for others it is a pleasure – a play with space, material, colour, an intellectual, artistic, aesthetic game. This play, however, should first of all bring pleasure to all those for whom – in the author’s intention – it is created. This ought to involve much greater engagement on the part of the author than a merely dispassionate discharge of professional duties. reversing the order, we must state that if architecture may give pleasure, apart from satisfying basic functional needs, then it should be a sort of a game or play with space.
