Summary note

Continuing with our series of books on emblematic works of Mexican architecture of the twentieth century, we present the "Anahuacalli", the unique masterpiece conceived by Diego Rivera with the collaboration of Juan O'Gorman and the recent contemporary intervention of Mauricio Rocha. In his text, the renowned researcher Enrique X. de Anda Alanís makes an analysis of this piece of monumental architecture inspired by the building traditions of pre-Columbian cultures. To complement the text, Nacho Gómez Arriola made 10 printed engravings of the original plates.
