- Summary
- Major work on the Pre-Columbian architecture in Mesoamerica in a continuation of the work by noted Mexican archaeologist Ignacio Marquina (b. México, 1913), who for many decades was the key reference on the topic. This new publication enriches Marquina's research with new and spectacular discoveries and updated archaeological and anthropological knowledge. Coordinated by M. Teresa Uriarte, the book analyses the historical and artistic problems of the origin of Pre-Columbian architecture, its development and influence in contemporary Mexican architecture. The first chapters examine the constructive techniques and the following chapters address the historic evolution of the different cultural zones of Mesoamerica. With texts by many experts this beautifully illustrated edition includes spectacular color plates, plans and drawings.
