Louis Barragán - Education

Engineering Degree: 1924

Barragan's buildings are famous for bright-coloured walls in a simple, planar style presaging European Minimalism of the late 20th century, eg Pawson and Silvestrin. Using water and warm colours the buildings integrate with the outdoors and are popular amongst non-architects too.

Barragán died in Mexico City in 1988

Casa de Luis Barragán is now a Museum to Barragan
