The name Luis Barragán evokes images of Latin American modernism. His 1,250-acre Gardens of El Pedregal, begun in 1945 on the lava fields south of Mexico City, were dotted with houses and plazas, fountains and ponds, cacti and pepper trees. Barragán considered El Pedregal his most important project, and critics have described the houses and gardens there as a turning point in Mexican architec-ture. This book examines El Pedregal's program and form, its represen-tation in architect-commissioned photographs and advertising, and its place within contemporary discourses on cultural identity, design and place, and suburbanization. Like our highly acclaimed "Revolution of Forms", Luis Barragán's Gardens of El Pedregal offers an in-depth analysis of this now mostly destroyed project through original documents, drawings, color and black-and-white photography, and critical examinations of the design process.
