About this book

The fifth book of the collection "Latin America: Thoughts" presents a collection of Ruth Verde Zein's articles on architectural theory, history and critic, arranged around three themes: Teaching and research, case studies and panoramas. Essays that share the belief that architectural design process is both creation of the new and connection with the relevant tradition and that being an eminently practical activity, its completion and renewal only occurs when it relates to conceptual issues.
