Supersudaca: Incomplete Works

Supersudaca: Incomplete Works - Fernando Lara

Supersudaca: Incomplete Works

At the dawn of the new millennium, a group of Latin American young architects found themselves on a pilgrimage to one of the centers of design production of the old world. As pilgrims and migrants have done for thousands of years, they thought they were acquiring knowledge in exchange for their cultural currency. Instead, they encountered their own knowledge and used it to subvert the orders of center/periphery, North/South, knowledge/culture, generating new meanings and new concepts for the discipline and the practice of architecture.

As you probably know, sudaca is a pejorative term used to label Latin American students in Europe. Supersudaca spins that insult around and celebrates their ways of doing Architecture. One of those ways is the Supersudaca tradition of not closing its processes; instead moving from one place to another, coming back in circles, and following unpredictable paths.


Incomplete works celebrate the first two decades of this partnership and set the tone for more works to come in the future. It also resists the idea of a complete body of work, exposing the process as the frame. Edited by Fernando Lara from UPenn Weitzman School of Design, and published by Romano Guerra editora, Supersudaca - Incomplete Works is a fundamental book to understand the flow of architectural ideas from the Global South in the 21st century.
