SAH LATIN AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIES AFFILIATE GROUP

The SAH Latin American Architectural Histories Affiliate Group aims to create a visible community for architectural histories about Latin America, coordinate efforts to produce innovative work on Latin American architectural histories in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and disseminate research on the history of Latin American architecture. The group will also organize workshops, meetings, virtual sessions, and roundtables.

LAAH seeks members interested in creating or disseminating topics related to Latin America as “an intricate concept composed of manifold combinations of peoples, identities, languages, cultural representations, and geographies.” Architectural historians and practitioners studying Latin American topics including Latin American diasporas and work by Latin American architects around the world are invited to participate in the group.

LatinX scholars and those who identify as part of the global Latin American community are also welcome to join LAAH. The group is interested in creating mentorships for Latin American and LatinX junior scholars and graduate students in architecture, art history, historic preservation, landscape architecture, urban planning, and related disciplines.
