Some Latin-American Geography and Geometry: Nature Meets Architecture and both Meet Society
Keywords:
Arquitectura, urbanismo, América LatinaAbstract
The author feels that so much talk about the effects of globalisation on territory, the city and architecture
must necessarily give rise to a debate as to there being universal models for these ideas or not or whether
they are rather the radical upshot of local and traditional forces. The paper aims at showing that Latin
America with its complex and multi-form geography crammed with multi-racial and multi-cultural society
and social structures has given us a host of urban ground plans and a prolixity of architectural modes that
have arisen in answer to the innumerable demands of numberless contrasting environments. To demonstrate
this contention, the author offers as examples the interplay of geography and geometry that the National
Art Schools of La Havana, the Modern Art Gallery of Niteró and the projects in and for the “Favela” shanty
towns of Rio de Janeiro.
