5.0 out of 5 stars Complete and well edited compilation of their work., September 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Kalach and Alvarez (Contemporary World Architects) (Paperback)
This volume of CWA features the best work by the Mexico City based firm headed by Arq. Alberto Kalach and Arq. Daniel Alvarez. Work included dates from 1983 to 1998 (the duration of their partnership),includes housing, residential buildings, schools, a subway station and others. All projects carry a tectonic discourse, and they stand out distinctively as "Kalach and Alvarez" within the cityscape. The designs and material treatments are extraordinary and compare to the best in the contemporary international architectural scene.

The foreword by Gonzalez de Leon and introduction by Betsky are both well written and insightful, especially to those not familiar with Mexican contemporary life and architecture. Very good book, belongs in every architects library.

Look also for more recent titles on their work (by separate)after 1998.
