Module 17 highlights an excellent documentation of the Famen Temple Cultural Scenic Area near Xi’an, China (built 2006-2009), which covers 150 acres with a massive modern temple
(Namaste Dagoba) as the focus dedicated to the most important relic in Buddhism: the Buddha finger bone. From Mexico (most photographed in Dec. 2021) this module brings you two
important and monumental works in Guadalajara by Jose Clemente Orozco: 1) The People and Its Leaders and 2) Capilla Mayor Murals. Also from Guadalajara are many important recent
and modern structures, including the poetic Arca Design Center by Esrawe Studio, the daring AC Hotel Marriott by Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos, and the round iconic Torre Icon 23
by Lucia Ragogna Y Paulina Corcuera, to name just a few. From the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico City is the “Sunset Collection” by Diego Rivera, painted a year before the
artist’s death in 1956 at the home of Dolores, in Acapulco: the series reflects Rivera’s ongoing experimentation with colors and techniques. From France we include more highlights
