Luis Barragan (1902-1988) is regarded as the most prominent
Mexican architect and as one of the major figures on the international stage of
architecture in the 20th century. With the award of the Pritzker
Prize in 1980 Barragan achieved international recognition and acclaim for the
poetic architectural style. The buildings and landscape projects that he had
realised, all of which are in his home country, exemplify his ability to fuse
the structural tenets of traditional Mexican architecture with the vocabulary
of modernism. The result is at once intensely Mexican and thoroughly universal. Luis Barragams project is a very interesting one for me to look at because he uses lots of colour, similarly to my chosen architecture company Powell Tuck Associates. They both use colour in almost every project. So it is a good case study for me and hopefully get lots of inspiration from this. He also designs cubically, as you can see below, an this is the same trend with Powell Tuck Associates.
