Today we fast forward 200 years, leaving James Wyatt and England behind, we cross the pond to find ourselves in Mexico set to explore Ricardo Legorreta.
Ricardo Legorreta Vilchis was a prolific Mexican architect (1931-2011). Born in Mexico, he completed his architecture studies at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in 1953. In 1963 he opened his own firm. Legorretta was a disciple of Luis Barragán. In many ways we can see Barragán’s style – but we can also see it evolve, develop, broaden. Today we look at his buidings in Mexico City.
