Barragán y su generación en Guadalajara: la casa, el patio y el jardín

A groundbreaking study reveals how Luis Barragán and his peers in Guadalajara, Mexico, redefined domestic architecture by integrating vernacular Mediterranean traditions with modernist principles. Through comparative analysis of their works—particularly the Luis Barragán House and Studio—the research demonstrates that intermediate spaces like patios and porches bridge indoor and outdoor environments, elevating gardens as essential extensions of homes. This fusion of tradition and modernity challenges prevailing foreign influences, showcasing a unique local architectural identity rooted in Ferdinand Bac's teachings and the Lecciones de la Escuela Libre de Ingenieros. The findings underscore the enduring relevance of spatial design that harmonizes cultural heritage with contemporary needs.
