"These thirteen essays and their accompanying illustrations contain an abundance of compelling details and interpretive insights, and cumulatively they signal a sophisticated architectural historiography that has the capacity to contribute to the broader political and social histories of Latin America." – Timothy Hyde, Harvard University, USA "The book, Latin American Modern Architecture: Ambiguous Territories, edited by Patricio del Real and Helen Gyger is a thorough yet consciously fragmented compilation of writings that investigate Latin American cities and its architecture for what they are but also for what they were meant to be, in order to begin a much needed critical revision about the region." – Marcelo López-Dinardi, Planning Perspectives, New York, USA
