On the notion of architectural hybridisation in Latin America
The notions of hybridity and of hybridisation have been used in so many contexts, and in such diverse senses that their definition has become unclear. They are associated with the inevitable process of cultural merging that results from the simultaneity of our global culture. They are also associated with debates on migration, diaspora, global economy, and information technology. Although hybridisation is not the only term that has been used to describe and to analyse transcultural processes, it appears to be adequate to examine the nature and dynamics of the current situation of Latin American architecture. This paper seeks to demonstrate that the notion of hybridisation has been thoroughly mistaken within recent architectural debates in Latin America. This is mainly due to the fact that theorists have limited themselves largely to an architectural field, and have failed to engage sufficiently with a broader range of cultural issues. As a consequence, the notion of hybridisation has lost political efficacy and has been reduced to a problem of aesthetic syncretism, which is exactly what architectural hybridisation, as a cultural concept, is not.
