Log in Resize text Cuadra San Cristóbal, designed by Luis Barragán Luis Barragán, one of the 20th century’s most influential architects, transformed modern architecture through his bold use of color, light, and space. Art historian Jennie Hirsh explores his life and work focusing on his projects in Mexico City, including Casa Luis Barragán—his jewel-like home and studio and a UNESCO World Heritage Site—works in the Modernist neighborhood of Jardines del Pedregal (developed in the 1940s alongside Diego Rivera), commercial work such as the Hotel Camino Real in Polanco, and Casa Gilardi, his final residential commission completed before his death. Hirsh also examines Barragán’s influence on postwar and contemporary artists and designers such as Josef Albers, Dan Flavin, Sheila Hicks, James Casebere, and Jill Magid, as well as the complexities of his critical reception and the fate of his archives now held in Switzerland.
