Luis Barragán (René Burri)
During the sixties and seventies photographer René Burri visited Barragán in Mexico. In those meetings, the Swiss photographer managed to masterfully capture the essence of the work of the architect Tapatío. With this book, Burri sought to pay tribute to his Mexican friend «reflecting the spirit of man, capturing the essence of his architecture, and creating the sense of peace and contemplation that is in the heart of his work.»
The Architecture of Happiness (Alain de Botton)

One of the teachers that the author analyzes is Luis Barragán who uses work for, nothing less, than the cover of his interesting book.
