From Pre-Columbian sites to contemporary design, Latin America has one of the richest architectural legacies in the world. No longer on the periphery, architects in the region are now global leaders in the field, and UT Austin is the leading institution in the U.S. to study Latin American architecture and placemaking.

By the 1950s, UTSOA offered regular seminars on preColumbian and Spanish colonial architecture, as well as studios and summer programs in Monterrey, Mexico. In the 1970s and 1980s, Dean Hal Box, an expert on Mexican architecture, significantly elevated the profile of the school and pursued relationships with schools, practitioners, and firms in Latin America. The school has had regular visiting critics from Latin America ever since.

In the 1980s, Dean Box and Professor Sinclair Black began a regular summer program, Studio Mexico, now taught by Professor Juan Miró. Hundreds of students have participated in this program since its inception.

Through the school’s Center for American Architecture and Design, O’Neil Ford Chair Wilfried Wang and Fellow Barbara Hoidn have made important contributions to the study of contemporary Latin American architecture. Since 2009, they have organized the annual Latitudes Symposium to bring together some of the best architects from across the Americas, exploring the diversity as well as common threads in new directions in architecture in the New World.

In 2013, Latitudes 5 was held at the FAUUSP in São Paulo, with future symposia planned for Austin and Mexico City.

In Latin America, architecture has to be extremely efficient and in most cases has to serve more than one purpose. A bus terminal serves also as town hall and bridge, a school is in the evening a community center, a street turns into a public space during the weekend.
