A black-and-white photographic journey through the work of Mexican engineer and architect Luis Barragán (1902–1988), who was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1980. Barragán’s approach emphasised the importance of native culture and its intersection with elegant modernist design. His lasting influence can be seen in the work of many of Mexico’s contemporary architects.
Though the black-and-white photographs might seem like a limitation, the book still manages to introduce Barragán’s iconic hues in an abstract way in its cover and binding. It also includes a text by architect Eduardo Souto de Moura, where he justifies the importance of the spatial aspect of Barragán’s work over his remarkable use of colour.
