Abstract
The Architectural Garden of Delights: Sevilla's Exposition 1929 and the American Pavilions The paper is a reflection concerning the buildings that comprised the Hispanic -American Exposition in Sevilla 1929, with the acknowledgement of the urban, cultural and architectural context of the city. A parallel approach is established between the Latin American characteristics that are taken to the national pavilions built for the exposition -specially the neocolonial and neoindigenous presence- and the reality of Sevilla, a city that has been dominated by a Regionalism, specifically the "Sevillian Style". Among the importance of these relationships, the paper also wants to study how this architectural understanding is linked with the modernity; by means of the singularities of the art deco, or by some indications of a modern movement that in the 1920s is pretending to become an International Style. The most updated bibliography is analyzed, intending -among all- to break the ambiguous argument that everything different from the heroic vision of the discussion between the vanguard -positive- and the tradition -negative- has to be eluded.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
