Title: Movimiento moderno olvidado
Description: This book is the compilation of the architectural history of 50 houses with the biography of each architect along with all their plans, a research work that took 10 years. The idea was to put in context the modern movement through these extraordinary examples of residential architecture in Chile, a production that back then had little promotion and the author rescues their history through plans and interviews. The urban growth of the country in the last 23 years has resulted in the demolition of some of them to give space to office and housing buildings leaving behind no documentation of their existence. This book is a memory of all that. Author Pablo Altikes is the Director of the Faculty of Architecture and Arts of the Universidad del Desarrollo (UDD).
