Concrete Jungle

The clash between rational architecture and the lush organicity of tropical vegetation has created some of the most visionary and futuristic buildings we know.

Building on the concepts of modernist style and Bauhaus aesthetics, tropical countries such as Brazil or Mexico have developed their own highly unique visions of an international style and architecture that is both timeless and desirable, which continues to be very influential all over the world.

In Concrete Jungle we embark on a journey through the works of architects influenced by the tropical modernist style, from Luis Barragán to Paulo Mendes da Rocha, to Marcio Kogan.
