The Rise of Modernist Architecture in Mexico,

architects following an engineering model.
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Latin American
countries borrowed from Europe both the ideal of the oligarchical re-
public, and the architectural eclecticism and monumentalism that still
characterizes the Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City, the Avenida Cen-
tral of Rio de Janeiro, and the Avenida de Mayo in Buenos Aires. French
beaux-arts classicism appealed to the europhile-landed elites that ruled
Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina for about one hundred years after inde-
