- Summary:
- Through the projects and ideas of the singular architect Miguel García Fernández (Rio Gallegos, Argentina 1932-Punta Arenas, Chile 1981), to value the history and development of modern architecture within the southernmost region of Chile. Anchored to the productive, social and material transformation of the territory of Magellan from the second half of the twentieth century, its professional performance and the original documents that plot this book plans, sketches, perspectives and illustrations account for the exercise and capabilities of a prolific and skilled architect. Mostly unknown, his work highlights the particularities and tensions of an ignored facet of modern architecture in the far south of the country; one that sailed between dogmas and circumstances, constituting an appropriate architecture, specific to its time and place. / Miguel García Cuevas, review of Contratapa.
