Guatemalan House

Also available in English with the title: Casa Guatemalteca Architecture, Landscape, Interior Design

Few things reveal the nature of a people better than their ways of living. And few countries like Guatemala can offer such wealth in the ways chosen to live.

This book shows us how from the remote constructions of its pre-Hispanic ancestral ethnic groups "through the colonial synthesis and republican elaborations, to the modern contemporary buildings, many of them built with enviable vitality on the remains of earthquakes and earthquakes", Guatemala has displayed enormous versatility in the construction of homes, the decoration of their interiors and the exquisite beauty of their gardens.

With texts by historian Jorge Luján Muñoz and splendid photographs by Ange A. Bourda, this book takes a tour of the inexhaustible gallery of Guatemalan houses.
