Luis Barragán House and Studio

What I usually don't like in postcards are illustrations. But if the illustration is loyal to the original is okay, and in this case is quite loyal

Luis Barragán House and Studio

This postcard was sent by Marco


Built in 1948, the House and Studio of architect Luis Barragán in the suburbs of Mexico City represents an outstanding example of the architect’s creative work in the post-Second World War period. The concrete building, totalling 1,161 m2, consists of a ground floor and two upper storeys, as well as a small private garden. Barragán’s work integrated modern and traditional artistic and vernacular currents and elements into a new synthesis, which has been greatly influential, especially in the contemporary design of gardens, plazas and landscapes. - in: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1136
