Modern tradition and identity. Architecture in Uruguay during the second half of the 20th century

Latin America is the region in which, for the first time in the history of Western architecture, a normative system for the organization of the physical environment —of maximum transcendence such as the modern one— has had a second development opportunity, once its trajectory was ended in its place...
