Summary: An eye-opening tour of the unique dynamics of the life
Review: The latest in the Masters of Latin American Architecture Series, Valparaiso School: Open City Group is an eye-opening tour of the unique dynamics of the life and work of the Valparaiso group, especially its polyhedral tendencies and its deep connection with cultural heritage. Black-and-white as well as color photographs of finished works as well as blueprints and sketches offer a sharp visual connection, while the text describes the stories behind impressive projects, their creation, and their practicality. Expertly compiled and deftly edited by architecture expert Raul Rispa, Valparaiso School: Open City Group is a welcome addition to any academic or professional Architecture Studies & Design History collection.
