Booth Event – Book Signing: Edmund Sumner

Casa Mexicana (text by Jonathan Bell) is a visual dialogue on contemporary Mexican architecture through the lens of Edmund Sumner. A decade in the making, this book captures the country’s rich architectural landscape—where tradition, materiality, and modernity converge.

From remote retreats to urban interventions, Casa Mexicana is both a tribute and an invitation to explore the imagination, resilience, and craftsmanship shaping Mexico’s built environment today.

Whether by chance or design, Sumner’s encounters with these homes have been shaped by an instinct for the unexpected. His images go beyond documentation, revealing the layered narratives of place, the collision of tradition and modernity, and the quiet radicalism inherent in contemporary Mexican practice.

Edmund Sumner pursues a creative path that takes the viewer beyond mere visually recording aesthetic or functional aspects of buildings and interiors.
Buildings are a manifestation of how we shape the environment.
