Product Description

Product Description

One of the key figures in modern architecture, Luis Barragan's influence has traveled 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.

Photographer Rene Burri visited Barragan and photographed his work on several trips to Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s. Here he pays tribute to his friend, reflecting the spirit of the man, capturing the essence of his architecture, and creating the sense of peace and contemplation that is at the heart of his work.

A brief and look at some of barrigan's works with a few philosiphical notes here and there. Very nice photographs, definately for inspiration rather than research.

Good, Not Great 16 Jun 2000
By Brian Anderson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
There are some very beautiful photographs and thought abstactions from the master, but this is not specifically an architectural peice of literature, as I expected it to be. It does capture some intriguing spacial conditions, but the artistic context appears in more of photographical context.

A Barragan "Teaser" At Best 25 Oct 2001
By J. Duncan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is a short, quirky little book, that reads more like a short book of poetry than a book on architecture or on the great architect luis barragan. It does have a few enticing pictures of his works and a few lines that offer insights into barragan's character. But it's hardly a definitive or essential work. Barragan fanatics probably want it for the collection. Fans but non-fanatics should look elsewhere.

Absolutely stunning book! 27 May 2000
By Ming-Yeung Lu - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
If you are interested in works by Mexican architects, like the recent AIA award winner Legorreta, this book is a must-have. It's filled with beautiful photographs of Barragan's works. The book is an artwork by itself. Phaidon scores again!
