La Ruta del Peregrino (the pilgrimage route) stretches a distance of 117 kilometers through the vast and imposing mountain range of Jalisco, Mexico. Approximately two million people participate each year in this religious phenomenon to meet the Virgin of Talpa as an act of devotion, faith, and gratitude. This book conveys the feeling of travelling on the pilgrim’s route and encountering architectural monuments and their infrastructure, like shelters and viewpoints, embedded in the harsh landscape. Each introduced landmark, designed by renowned architects, sparks a dialogue about sustainability and austerity, landscape and architecture. Landscape of Faith is a documentation of the way architecture can increase the identity of a pilgrimage route and add layers of meaning that reach far beyond the religious. AUTHOR: Tatiana Bilbao (born1972) is a Mexican architect. She developed the architectural project along the Ruta del Peregrino and recipient of the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture. Iwan Baan (born 1975) is an architecture and documentary photographer. His photographs are published regularly in architectural magazines and he has worked for renowned offices. SELLING POINTS: . Impressive images of the religious Mexican landscape . Projects by Ai Weiwei (FAKE Design), Luis Aldrete Arguitectos, Alejandro Aravena (Elemental), Godoylab, HHF Architects and Rozana Monteirl (Periferica) 202 illustrations
