When one hears Latin America, most of us certainly do not think “Modern architecture.” But in 1955, Henry Russell Hitchcock shed much light on architecture in Latin America with the exhibition Modern Architecture in Latin America since 1945 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Hitchcock made it clear with this exhibition that Latin America was ahead of the U.S.A, in particular, in the areas of university campus design and public housing[1]. The exhibition proved to be a tremendous success in showcasing many groundbreaking modernist designs in Latin America. It encouraged scholarship on the subject which resulted in many publications by several Latin American authors and architects (most publications are in Spanish and some have been translated into other languages).
