Luis Barrag n: His House presents the crowning achievement of the architect who was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1980: his own house, considered one of the ten most important houses of the twentieth century. Originally built in 1947 and continually renovated by the architect, it would come to be considered Barrag n's masterpiece, the laboratory in which he developed his new architectural language. Today the house ranks as one of the most important examples of modern architecture in Mexico, and was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2004. Luis Barrag n: His House offers a complete visual tour of the house and studio, as well as the superb garden that surrounds it. Hitherto unpublished documents and images in the possession of the Fundaci n de Arquitectura Tapat a and other collectors place the work in the context of Barrag n's career. The entire house has been specially photographed for this volume, with meticulous attention being given to the treatment of color and light so essential to Barrag n's work. This book includes three essays by experts in Barrag n's work: "The House and Its Cultural Context," by Daniel Garza Usabiaga, "Architecture: A Personal Space," by Juan Palomar and a detailed account of Barrag n's library and collection of art works and objects by Alfonso Alfaro.
