| Summary: | Enrique Norten is often hailed as Mexico's most dynamic architect, but, with several new buildings in the United States, he might more properly be called one of the Americas' most exciting architects. This sweeping book celebrates thirty years of practice with a bilingual survey of recent projects, including BAM South, Rutgers University Master Plan, Amparo Museum, Centro University, Universidad Panamericano and a dozen others. With offices in Mexico and New York, TEN is known for mining the forces, migration, trade, economic and information networks, shaping our cities, creating bold forms that mark skylines and activate streets from Mexico City to Brooklyn. This book explores the firm's evolution as an international practice and the three "lines of investigation" that propel its work, architecture as public space, infrastructure and territory. Contributors include a who's who of Mexican and American design thinkers, including curator and educator Barry Bergdoll, architect Elizabeth Diller, architect and editor Alejandro Hernández Gálvez, architectural historian Xavier Guzmán Urbiola, historian, essayist and publisher Enrique Krauze and architect Thom Mayne. |
