Description

One of the key figures in modern architecture, Luis Barragn's influence has travelled far and 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 Moorish architecture and desire for spiritual beauty and harmony with nature. Photographer Ren Burri visited Barragn and photographed his work on several trips to Mexico in the 1960's and the 1970's. 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.
