Starting in Mexico armed independence movement of the early nineteenth century was the beginning of a long period of political instability, social economic and therefore generate a very austere and poor architectural production. Even the Reform Juarista period was characterized by the demolition of a large number of buildings from the Colonial period, intended it as disappearing symbols of colonial domination.
Conversely, stands the architectural production of so-called post-revolutionary period, in which the search for a clear definition that would lead to a synthesis that would allow Mexico to understand at that time, encouraged the expression of so-called Nationalist movement , which, based on the reuse of pre-Hispanic forms in the Neo Indians in the recovery of the Neocolonial Virreinales demonstrations and the use of the principles of the European vanguard of the Art Deco time, laid the foundation for different forms to see and do in Mexican architecture.
on these issues is that the content of RUA4 weaves its pages, with the sole intention of motivating the reader to reflection, from the architectural, historical conditions and consequences for which the Mexico of today has gone in the last two years. Dr. Gustavo
