"The scholarship demonstrated in this book is outstanding, presenting a sophisticated understanding of both international architectural discourse and local traditions. By prioritizing practitioner voices, the book contributes meaningfully to the conversation about practice-based knowledge in architectural scholarship. By focusing on overlooked lineages and by grounding the analysis in local contexts and perspectives, the book offers a fresh perspective on Latin American architecture." Luis Rico Gutiérrez. Dean and Professor, College of Design Iowa State University. "Inés Martín-Robles book expands our perspectives on Latin American architecture by uncovering overlooked lineages and fostering cross-country dialogues among contemporary architects. It challenges traditional narratives by highlighting diverse influences and lesser-known figures, providing an intergenerational and non-monolithic view of the region's architectural evolution. An essential read for those interested in expanding the understanding of Global South architectural production beyond the canon.

"Professor Inés Martín Robles curates a compelling collection of original texts by practitioners who, through lived experience, everyday practice, and shared memories, are shaping the contemporary architectural and urbanistic cultural traditions in the continent. Situating these distinct practices and discourses, Martin Robles contributes a compelling conceptual framework that reveals common threads and nuanced local specificities, reclaims overlooked contributions, and expands the inherited canonical narratives." María Arquero de Alarcón. Professor of Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning, Taubman College, University of Michigan. Co-curator XIII Ibero-American Biennial of Architecture. "This publication provides a significant and timely contribution to the dissemination of Latin American architecture within English-speaking countries, seeking to elevate the visibility and recognition of the region's rich, diverse, and frequently underrepresented architectural output, while promoting a deeper understanding of its cultural, social, and environmental dimensions.

One of its strengths lies in its in-depth focus on a new generation of architects with limited international exposure but whose practices hold substantial regional significance." Gustavo Luis Moré. Principal and founder Moré Arquitectos. Editor, Archivos de Arquitectura Antillana, Dominican Republic.
