He was a Holocaust survivor who grew up in Western Mexico. Alejandro Zohn studied at the [[Universidad de Guadalajara]], Mexico, graduating as an [[engineer]] in 1955 and as an architect in 1963. His abilities as an engineer are reflected in several bold and ingenious structures ~~that derive partly from the precepts of [[Félix Candela]]~~. Notable examples are the acoustic shell (1958) in Agua Azul Park, the [[San Juan de Dios Market\|Libertad Market]] (1959) and the '[[Adolfo López Mateos]]' [[sports centre]] (1962), all in Guadalajara. The market is especially noteworthy for its roof of [[hyperbola\|hyperbolic]] paraboloids, which allow for wide areas without supports. He also built residential blocks, paying careful attention to details of interior functionality, the durability and maintenance of materials and residents’ individuality. The housing complex 'CTM-Atemajac' (1979), Guadalajara, is one of his main achievements in this area, comprising several buildings with brick facing, none more than five stories. Among his numerous other designs in Guadalajara, the most notable are the [[Banco Refaccionario de Jalisco]] (1973), the [[Plaza del Sol (Mexico)\|Plaza del Sol]], the 'Mulbar' [[shopping centre]] and car park and the [[Archivo del Estado de Jalisco]] building (1989). The latter is in exposed concrete and has a minimum of openings, emotional style and has affinities with the vernacular architecture of the [[Jalisco]] area. == References == Line 11 ⟶ 13: == External links == * [http://www.wienarchitektur.at/event.php?event_id=8699 Wien Architektur] {{Webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222231351/http://www.wienarchitektur.at/event.php?event_id=8699 \|date=2012-02-22 }} * {{esin ~~icon~~lang\|es}} [http://www.festivaldemayo.org/fcmj2005/zohn.htm Alejandro Zohn] {{Authority control}} ~~{{Persondata <!-- Metadata: see [[Wikipedia:Persondata]]. -->~~ ~~\| NAME = Zohn, Alejandro~~ ~~\| ALTERNATIVE NAMES =~~ ~~\| SHORT DESCRIPTION = Mexican arnotect~~ ~~\| DATE OF BIRTH = 8 August 1930~~ ~~\| PLACE OF BIRTH =~~ ~~\| DATE OF DEATH = 2000~~ ~~\| PLACE OF DEATH =~~ }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Zohn, Alejandro}} [[Category:Jewish architects]] ~~[[Category:Mexican architects]]~~ [[Category:Austrian emigrants to Mexico]] [[Category:Mexican Jews]] Line 38 ⟶ 30: [[Category:Mexican people of Austrian-Jewish descent]] [[Category:20th-century Mexican architects]] [[Category:University of Guadalajara alumni]]
