Luis Barragán is regarded as one of the most important Mexican architects of the twentieth century. His architectural idiom fused the austere vocabulary of the International Style with vernacular Mexican elements to produce an unmistakable expressiveness all his own. Since 2022, his archive is hosted by the Vitra Design Museum. On this occasion, the Vitra Design Museum, in cooperation with the Barragan Foundation, will organise a series of lectures and discussions that will examine Barragán's work from different perspectives and make it more accessible to a broader audience. The first lecture will be given by Luis Carranza, professor of architecture at the Columbia University and the Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island, who will present Barragán in the context of Latin American modernism.

Free admission, registration: events@design-museum.de
A recording of the talk will be available on the YouTube channel after the event.
