This book reflects the color and vibrancy of Mexican architecture at the end of the twentieth century in the work of eleven of its most outstanding architects: Barragán, López Baz and Calleja, Legorreta, Aldaco, Kalach and Álvarez, Broid, Yturbe, Norten, and Gómez-Pimienta, Casillas, Sordo Madaleno, and González de León. Eleven contemporary houses by recognized architects that react –actively or passively– to the house of Luis Barragán, emblem of twentieth-century architecture and paradigm of Mexican modernity.
