Lopez's first book\, The Remittance Landscape: The Spaces of Migration in Rural Mexico and Urba n USA\, examines the impact of migrant remittances on the landscapes of Me xico. Her current projects include a history of migrant detention faciliti es in the U.S. and a history of construction labor and cantera stone in Me xico and the U.S. She researches at the intersections of migration\, ordin ary landscapes\, urbanism\, and spatial justice.\n\n \;\n\nProfessor L aura Wainer will introduce the speaker.\n\nSuggested Reading: Ties That Bi nd: Migrant Placemaking at the U.S.-Mexico Boundary and Beyond\n\n \;\ n\n"Architectural History Is Migrant History" tracks the development over the last fifty years of a binational construction industry that has emerge d around the excavation (in Mexico)\, transportation\, distribution\, and installation (in the U.S.) of cantera stone. Cantera literally means “qu arry\,” but the Spanish word is used in Mexico to describe a specific br ittle rock used to build colonial churches and civic infrastructure. More recently\, a network of Mexican quarrymen\, stonemasons\, homebuilders\, a rchitects\, and businessmen have refined a cantera market that caters to a Mexican and Mexican American clientele in the American Southwest. "Archit ectural History Is Migrant History" recasts Mexican construction-related l abor by tracking the development of a meaningful and sophisticated industr y that has reshaped design norms and building trades in two countries from the shadows of a formal American economy.\n\n \;\n\n"Border Crossings : Architecture and Migration" in the Americas presents meditations on the topic of migration from nontraditional\, creative\, and interdisciplinary perspectives. The distinguished speakers -- architects\, landscape archit ects\, architecture historians\, social historians\, a philosopher\, an an thropologist\, and an attorney -- question conventions\, especially the co nceptualization of migration as linear. They frame migration as a multival ent process\, considering the lived realities and material conditions of m igration\, historically and in the present. Migration in the Americas is m ore than just the movement and resettlement of bodies\, numbers that cross lines and appear/disappear in different places. Migration is not merely ( dis)placement\, it is also a metamorphosis. Migrants are human beings who are transformed to the core by their movement\, and they transform not onl y their places of departure and arrival\, but the entire space that is fil led with their journeys.\n\n"Border Crossings: Architecture and Migration"  in the Americas presents meditations on the topic of migration from nont raditional\, creative\, and interdisciplinary perspectives.
