The Latitudes: Architecture in the Americas symposia, held in 2009 and 2010, were organized by The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture and the Center for American Architecture and Design. These events brought together a diverse group of innovative architects to explore the question of whether there is—already, still emerging, or ever to be—an "American," modern architecture that transcends the North, Central, and South American divide and that is in some way distinguishable from European, Asian, and other models.
