Modern Mexico is a fantastically fertile breeding ground for contemporary architecture and design. The nation is an exotic, sensual mix of cultural influences. The mysterious monolithic architecture of Mexico's pre-Hispanic civilizations, the baroque, tile-clad cathedrals of the Catholic conquistadors, and the rugged proportions of the colonial hacienda are all visible in the work of Mexico's new generation of modern masters. Mexican architecture remains defined by the courtyard, the wall and the uninhibited use of colour. But contemporary architects and designers are bringing to these a fascination with texture and with monumental scale. Featuring the most striking work of architects and designers such as Jose de Yturbe and Manuel Mestre, "Mexican Contemporary" explores both the boldness of the new and the vibrant roots to which it remains true.
