BOOK / JUAN SORDO MADALENO. Miquel Adrià

ARCHITECTURE

Juan Sordo Madaleno was a modern architect. Precise, understated, and elegant, he brought the essence of the International Style to the Mexican architectural landscape of the mid-20th century. Throughout his career, his work moved with measured grace between discretion, good taste, and an uncanny knack for finding the exact tone, the right height, or the perfect proportion—far removed from the attention-grabbing theatrics of some, the indiscriminate copying of others, or the extreme rigidity of those who designed on graph paper. Featuring photographs by Guillermo Zamora—a photographer of that era—this book compiles 28 of Juan Sordo Madaleno’s works, encompassing projects that vary in scale, massing, function, and era. It aims to showcase his development and maturity as an architect and to acknowledge the enduring value of each of his projects.
