The product shipped well. No damage. It was exactly what I was looking for, good pics and some light information Ren Burri There are some very beautiful photographs and thought abstactions from the master, but this is not specifically an architectural peice of literature, as I expected it to be. It does capture some intriguing spacial conditions, but the artistic context appears in of photographical context. Ren Burri fabulous book! Ren Burri
SUMMARY Ã TEXASBEERGUIDE.COM ´ Ren Burri
One of the key figures in modern architecture, Luis Barragan's influence has traveled far beyond his Mexican homeland, culminating in the award of architecture's most prestigious accolade, the Pritzker Prize, in 1980. His architecture represents a personal vision; inspired by the vernacular style of his native country, a love of Moorish architecture and a desire for spiritual beauty and harmony with nature, he set about creating serenity and enchantment in his buildings and gardens.Photographer Rene Burri visited Barragan and photographed his work on several trips to Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s. Here he pays tribute to his friend, reflecting the spirit of the man, capturing the essence of his architecture, and creating the sense of peace and contemplation that is at the heart of his work.

It's pictures than words, but a nice quick book to spur interest on this fantastic architect. Ren Burri If you are interested in works by Mexican architects, like the recent AIA award winner Legorreta, this book is a must have. It's filled with beautiful photographs of Barragan's works. The book is an artwork by itself. Phaidon scores again! Ren Burri Il volume è in un formato insolito, molto piccolo per essere un libro d'arte, all'incirca un A5, secondo me non adatto a foto di architettura. Anche la qualità di stampa non mi sembra un granché, le immagini sono abbastanza scure, un po' piatte, non rendono giustizia al Maestro della luce e del colore.Sinceramente non mi convince neanche l'impaginazione, molte foto verticali sono messe per orizzontale lasciando metà pagina bianca. non lo consiglio Ren Burri This is a short, quirky little book, that reads like a short book of poetry than a book on architecture or on the great architect luis barragan. It does have a few enticing pictures of his works and a few lines that offer insights into barragan's character.
