Description
México: Construcción, 1944. (weak hinges, marginal wear in covers, some foxing, not affecting text or plates). b/w plates, drawings, plans, measured plans, elevations, tables, graphs, advertisements, illustrated wrappers. This periodical is virtually unknown and does not appear in the National Library of Mexico, or UNAM or OCLC. The contributors were leaders in post WWII an integrated movement of architecture, engineering and planning to build a modern Mexico. Despite the technical sounding title of the magazine, the interest was in achieving a broader integration of architecture, urban planning, construction and art and thus "Construction" was born along with the words "decoration, art and industry in the title. Many of the contributors to the magazine were part of the planning and construction of the University Nacional Autonóma de Mexico and generally in post-WWII urban planning and influenced modernity in architecture. Alberto Dovalí Jaime pioneering work with reinforced concrete led the way to the boom of buildings and public structures that used that material. Architect Carlos Lazo Barreiro (Mexico City 1914-1955) was a founder in 1943 of the magazine "Construcción". Engineer Alberto Dovalí Jaime, the Mexican pioneer of reinforced concrete (RC) in Mexico was also one of the founders. Engineers Dovalí Jaime (Secretary of Communications) and Vicente Guerrero and Gama designed the first prestressed concrete bridge in Mexico, over the Santa Catarina River, in Monterrey. General director was Almiro P. (Pérez) Moratinos from UNAM. The magazine documents planning and architecture in states outside of Mexico indicating a national viewpoint. The The sections of the magazine included with some variations: Temas Generales Ingenieria, Matematicas, Planificacion, Arquitectura, Arqueologia, Seccion Industrial, Arte, Decoracion and each issue contains robust contributions. The archaeology sections included information on what could be considered patrimonial, such as colonial churches One of the only references to this publication we identified: "Bajo una línea parecida, surgió en 1943 "Construcción, revista de ingeniería, arquitectura, arte, decoración e industria". El apartado que se dedicó a urbanismo estuvo a cargo de Carlos Lazo, y a pesar del enfoque técnico de la revista, destaco el interés por lograr una integración más amplia. Lejos de los debates surgidos en la primera revista de principios de siglo -El Arte y la Ciencia- cuando las carreras de ingeniería y arquitectura se disputaban sus alcances, la revista "Construcción" nació insólitamente junto a las palabras "decoración, arte e industria" (Canales González, Ana Fernanda. La modernidad arquitectónica de México: a través de los medios impresos. Tesis Doctoral.

Norman: Arthur H. Clark Company, 2013. 1/55. 17pp. Octavo [23 cm] Blue printed wrappers. Near fine. Signed by Saunders on the limitation page. Collector's Edition Keepsake for volume 15 of the Kingdom of the West series, 'Dale Morgan on the Mormons Collected Works. Part 2, 1949-1970.' Dale L. Morgan (1914 - 1971), was an American historian, accomplished researcher, biographer, editor, and critic. He specialized in material on Utah history, Mormon history, the American fur trade, and overland trails. His work is known both for its comprehensive research and accuracy and for the fluid imagery of his prose. The Kingdom in the West Series, subtitled 'The Mormons and the American Frontier,' is an award-winning series begun in 1997 that explored the story of the Latter-day Saints and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. The history of the Mormons in the American West is so sweeping it is easy to ignore episodes that, for one reason or another, found no place in the traditional annals of the region. This series explored the story of the Mormon people and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. Primary source documents, many of them previously unpublished, comprise this series' core.
