Recenzii
“Fernando Luiz Lara offers a bracing challenge to those of us steeped in Eurocentric urban and architectural histories. In a sweeping set of essays, spanning Amazonian cosmology to postmodern design, about places as diverse as Tenochtitlan, Chicago, and Rio de Janeiro, Lara offers a powerful decolonial critique of dominant architectural theories and practices, calling attention to narrative erasures and offering compelling alternatives.”
—Thomas J. Sugrue, New York University
“Fernando Luiz Lara has offered us a road map to a fundamentally new way of understanding the history of architecture. He carefully and painstakingly delinks this history from European master narratives, creating a space from which to tell new stories.”
—Joseph Heathcott, The New School
“In this lucid and brilliantly provocative book, Fernando Luiz Lara asks us to embark on a journey to unlearn the very foundations of modern architecture. Opening up design thinking to knowledge systems marginalized for five centuries, it is an invitation to reshuffle myths of land, building, and history and bring back to the drawing board relational processes indigenous to the Americas.”
