Furthermore, this belief, doesn’t ‘benefit it ́s characterization as an architectural heritage, hindering its future preservation capacities. It’s vital to think of it as heritage, and to achieve this it ́s essential to recognize it as an architecture of the recent past and increase our knowledge of its characteristics through research.

Se cree importante la valorización patrimonial de la arquitectura moderna del siglo XX en México. Para ello, es fundamental reconocer que es una arquitectura del siglo pasado, y que es imperioso acrecentar el conocimiento de sus características. En ese sentido, este texto aborda los retos que presupone su conservación por estar aún inserta dentro de un marco conceptual estrecho y un conocimiento limitado de atributos. Esto debido a la idea aceptada de entenderla genéricamente como una única arquitectura moderna. De ahí que el objetivo principal del presente texto sea explicar que, siendo arquitecturas conceptualmente cercanas, no son exactamente lo mismo, y que existen diferencias y similitudes que las definen como arquitecturas distintas. Más aun, establecer historiográficamente que no existió en ningún momento una teoría y práctica unificada detrás de lo que se ha denominado posteriormente como arquitectura moderna en México. Sin embargo, la intención de este artículo será ahondar en las características de las arquitecturas del movimiento moderno y las de tipo funcionalistas y racionalistas, únicamente.
