BARRAGAN HOUSE AND STUDIO - MEXICO
Built in 1948, the House and Studio of architect Luis Barragán in the suburb of Mexico City (Tacubaya)represents an outstanding
example of the architect’s creative work in the post-Second World War period. The concrete building, totalling 1161-m2,
consists of a ground floor and two upper stories, as well as a small private garden. Barragán’s work integrated modern and
traditional artistic and vernacular currents and elements into a new synthesis, which has been greatly influential,
especially in the contemporary design of gardens, plazas, and landscapes.
