Barragan

“This monograph celebrates the architecture of Luis Barragán (1902–1988), Mexico’s great modern master known for his luminous use of color, form, and silence. Through the lens of Armando Salas Portugal—Barragán’s longtime collaborator and official photographer—the book captures the serene geometry and spiritual intensity of his work. Featuring major projects such as El Pedregal, San Cristóbal Stables, and the Casa Gilardi, this volume reveals Barragán’s poetic vision: an architecture of light and shadow, solitude and joy, where the modern and the mystical coexist in perfect balance.”
