Luis Barragan - L'espace et L'ombre, Le Mur et La Couleur - Birkhauser 2002
Luis Barragán (1902–1988), the world-renowned Mexican architect, has been the subject of universal interest for many years. Danièle Pauly presents a comprehensive study in this monograph. Drawing on extensive iconography and documentation, she traces the architect's life in chronological and detailed fashion: from his Mexican roots, Mediterranean influences and functionalist period to his full maturity. All of Barragán's major constructions are analysed using precise graphic documents. This extremely clear work provides a comprehensive study of Barragán's original contribution to world architecture, the master of space and shadow, walls and colour.
