Richard Neutra: Encounters with Latin America
English
By (author): Catherine R. Ettinger
Less is known, however, about the time Neutra spent in Latin America in the 1930s and 1940s, where he developed a keen interest in tropical design techniques addressing sustainability, climate, and integration with the landscape. He traveled extensively in Mexico and South America and paid particular attention to designs for schools and hospitals in Puerto Rico. Drawing heavily on archival documents and transcripts of Neutras talks and interviews in Rio de Janeiro, Caracas, Lima, and Mexico City, Richard Neutra: Encounters with Latin America explores Neutras connections with Latin American architects through his travels, writing, and design work in those countries. What emerges is a rare and surprising view of the Latin American influences and experiences that significantly shaped Neutras more widely known built work in the United States. See more
