Skrevet af LEONARDO FINOTTI
In 2008, Leonardo Finotti was invited by MoMA's chief curator, Barry
Bergdoll, to be part of a tribute exhibition for a landmark survey of
modern architecture in Latin America shown in 1955. He began a
commissioned work that led him directly into an immersive experience
lasting the past eight years. Latin American Modern Architecture is part
of an ongoing series by one of the leading architectural photographers
worldwide. It presents nearly eighty images of Finotti's photographic
vision of undiscovered Latin American modern architecture and offers an
important overview of the region. Collecting visits, stories,
experiences, and photographs, the research took place in diverse
latitudes, eight of them published in this book: Montevideo, Buenos
Aires, Valparaiso, Sa o Paulo, Bogota , Caracas, Me xico City, and
Havana.
