Luis Barragán

One of the key figures in modern architecture, Luis Barragán?s influence has travelled far beyond his Mexican homeland, culminating in the award of architecture?s most prestigious accolade, the Pritzker Prize, in 1980. His architecture represents a personal vision; inspired by the vernacular style of his native country, a love of Moorish architecture and a desire for spiritual beauty and harmony with nature, he set about creating serenity and enchantment in his buildings and gardens.
