Description
Gilardi House thoroughly documents Luis Barragan's last project, Casa Gilardi, an emblem of Mexican architecture.
In 1976, ten years after his retirement from the practice of architecture, Barragan accepted the commission of two young publicists passionate about his architecture and designed the Gilardi House. This masterpiece was the last built project of Pritzker Prize winner Luis Barragan's prolific career.
Gilardi House aims to disseminate the complete history of the project, from the first sketch to its construction. It presents for the very first time, documents, plans, images, sketches and memories of distinguished visitors, aiming to shed light on this unpublished and largely unknown masterpiece and unique cultural establishment. This book not only unpacks original documentation of the project, but also includes critical reflections by contemporary architects and critics who have visited this private house, sharing a critical approach and a unique lesson for today's architecture.
With contributions from Charles Renfro / Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Daniel Libeskind, Paul Lewis / LTL, Snøhetta, Ricardo Devesa, Julio Jimenez Sarabia, Jorge Vázquez del Mercado, Martín Luque, among many others...
