This book showcases Mexican designers and architects, including Jose de Yturbe, Javier Sordo Madeleno, Marco Aldaco, and others whose modern creations define the country's architecture and design. 150+ color photos.

Mexican Contemporary--"sequel" to Casa Mexicana, September 30, 1997
Reviewer: A reader
Another stunning pictorial of Mexican architecture, in the tradition of Casa Mexicana by Tim Street-Porter. The photography throughout this book is stunning, an inspirational source book of Mexican spaces, forms, colors and workmanship. Focusing on contemporary classics by Yturbe and Mestre, among others, Mexican Contemporary expands upon the contemporary chapters of Casa Mexicana. The only downside to this book is the repetition of much material already so well presented in Casa Mexicana (though the additional photographic glimpses into Mexican architecture are always welcome).

Just magnificent!, September 10, 1997
Reviewer: A reader
Never have I seen such incredible collection of unique architecture in Mexico. Not only was I inspired by the color, but it also provided me with a much better understanding of how significant the influence of Luis Barragan has been far reaching in today's modern world. Simply inspirational..
