Goldsmith Talks: Ingrid Quintana, Children of the Rue de Sévres

Ingrid Quintana is the author of Hijos de la Rue de Sèvres. The book discusses all of the Latin American collaborators who worked at the legendary Rue de Sèvres, Le Corbusier’s studio in Paris.  The rigorous field work in the archives of more than ten countries; and the proposal of a renewed vision of Latin American architectural historiography makes this an extraordinary and indispensable book that invites its reader to reflect on the contributions of these former collaborators to their own countries’ architecture.

Ingrid Quintana Guerrero has an architectural degree from Universidad Nacional de Colombia and a PhD from Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil.
