Description
Summary:The constructive technology of the twentieth century had a high impact on architectural morphology. New techniques and construction systems constituted novel scales, functions, appearances and symbols, which stimulated the work of the builders of the Mexican Modern Movement. Through the deductive method, the objective was to demonstrate the technological assembly experienced by Architecture, by using materials, both industrial and local. And, with it, to demonstrate that the product of this integration highlighted buildings of remarkable aesthetic and utilitarian dominance. The results concluded that the theories of European and North American architects gestated the stylistic searches of Mexican builders.
