El legado de Luis Barragán y la renovación de la cultura

Abstract

This article is a detailed review of the work of Luis Barragán with a special emphasis on its synthetic nature: the vanguard of the beginning of the century, Mexican rural archítecture and even regional solutions like the North African cashbas were íncluded in a proposal that strives, above all, to gíve peace and tranquillíty to domestic and refigious environments. The integration of these elements in a proposal, which is at the same time local and global, constitutes the highest value of Barragan's work.
