Architecture: Luis Barragán in CDMX/Mexico City

Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Luis Barragán is arguably Mexico’s most influential architect, known for his use of modernist principles, vibrant colors, and extensive portfolio. Students from around the world come to study his projects. One of his most famous works, San Cristóbal Equestrian Estates, is currently being transformed into an art center. The home he built for himself, Barragán House, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Barragán himself received the Pritzker Prize in 1980. Other notable works include Casa Gilardi and Torres de Satélite.
