Barragán
Luis Barragán (1902–1988) was a renowned Mexican architect and engineer known for his unique blend of modernism and traditional Mexican elements. Born in Guadalajara, he initially trained as an engineer but developed his architectural style after extensive travel in Europe, where he was influenced by Le Corbusier and North African architecture. Barragán is famous for creating serene, colorful, and poetic spaces, often incorporating water features and gardens. His notable works include Casa Barragán, the Chapel of the Capuchinas, and the Torres de Satélite. He won the Pritzker Prize in 1980, and his house and studio are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
