Conexiones latinoamericanas: culturas arquitectónicas en tránsito

Abstract

This article makes a comparison between contemporary architectural works that share the same continental identity but are from different dates and contexts and come from very distinct socio-cultural realities. Most of them were built in the 21st century, in Latin American countries, specifically Peru and Brazil, and predominantly harbor cultural programs and have strong tectonic qualities. In this interplay of identities and differences, this article reflects on the possibilities of cultural transit as a way to overcome the global/local dichotomy, using territory and landscape issues as a point of debate.
