Mi infancia la pasé visitando pueblos y haciendas, conventos e iglesias; de forma natural el mundo de los espacios mexicanos fue llenando mi vida de tal manera que la luz, los muros, el color, el misterio, el agua y la consecuente belleza se volvieron parte de mí.” Ricardo Legorreta as actuales páginas tienen la preguntó a Barragán qué opinión tenía sobre la obra, a lo Louis Kahn es otro arquitecto moderno del que Legorreta de Monterrey (MARCO) se encuentra una gran escultura de función de ser una pequeña in- que éste respondió: “Tienes que dedicar más atención al aprendió mucho.

  • History of the Chula Vista Library South
    Chula Vista Public Library South Branch The South Chula Vista Branch Library is an organization of modest geometric forms that take advantage of absolute contrasts of vertical and horizontal planes, with bold colors and crisps shadows. Built in 1995, the 4000 square meter project takes advantage of creating a series of courtyards using plant material of the local arid/coastal landscape. Garden elements like the fountain are included in the interior of the building. The exterior courts and terraces were carefully designed to connect indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as to provide places for public use. The world-renowned Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta studied architecture from 1948 to 1952 at the National School of Architecture of the National Autonomous University of Mexico and worked in the workshop of José Villagran Garcia until 1960. Later, he founded his office with which he would be recognized for a style which incorporated innovative techniques and a unique proportions management, in addition to the use of intense colors and decorative objects and large-scale structures. Legorreta was a disciple of Luis Barragán and carried Barragan's ideas to a wider realm. Barragan, in the 1940s and 1950s amalgamated tradition and the modern movement in architecture yet his work is mostly limited to domestic architecture. Legorreta applied elements of Barragan's architecture in his work including bright colors, play of light and shadow, and solid platonic geometric shapes. One of the important contributions of Legorreta has been the use of these elements in other building types such as hotels, factories as well as in commercial and educational buildings.
