Sordo Madaleno Architects: Shaping Transformation

Celebrating 85 years of the leading Mexican firm's buildings and urban design

After 85 years of creating nationally iconic architecture, the Mexico City-based firm Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos--founded in 1937 by a very young Juan Sordo Madaleno--publishes this retrospective monograph compiling its most ambitious projects, both built and unbuilt.
The work of Sordo Madaleno reflects the evolution of the urban and rural landscape of 20th- and 21st-century post-revolutionary Mexico. From their very first projects, the firm has helped define the construction of a modern Mexico, from individual structures to the planning of large urban areas conceived to incorporate designs of varying scales. Over the firm's long history, it has shown an ability to adapt a myriad of styles to the project at hand, from Miesian modernism to the bright playful spaces of Luis Barrag n. With over 300 images, this book captures the range of Sordo Madaleno, collecting its hotels, houses, restaurants, urban spaces and real estate developments.
