		A Barragan "Teaser" At Best : This is a short, quirky little book, that reads more like a short book of poetry than a book on architecture or on the great architect luis barragan.
		Barragan: The Complete Works : I extolled the first edition of this definitive, splendidly illustrated survey when it appeared in 1996, and urge you to add it to your shelves if you haven't already.
		Luis Barragan's Gardens of El Pedregal : This is a remarkable book, engaging and forceful, scrupulously researched and boldly imaginative.

		The monkish Barragan would have hated the idea, but this major retrospective is set to transform him from a well-regarded, if obscure, architect to that of millennial trendsetter.
		Barragan thought buildings should be conceived with nature in mind - the garden was architecture without a roof.
		Barragan's background among the ranches, convents and villages of Jalisco province informed all his work.

		Barragan – The Complete Works collects over 300 illustrations including Barragan’s drawings; photographs of his work; re-drawn plans, elevations, and scale models of important projects; texts by Alvaro Siza, Antonio Toca, and J. Buendia, as well as an essay by Barragan himself; and an unabridged transcription of his Pritzker Prize acceptance speech.
		Barragan's impressions and influences are recorded here, from his early years in Gudalajara to his work in Mexico City, and his highly inspiring travels in the Alhambra, the villages of Greece, and northern Africa.
		Barragan was perhaps first and foremost a landscape architect, and this book spotlights his gardens, and his vanguard, landscape-based approach to architecture itself-centered on the close relationship between landscape, color, and architecture in Mexico and the other lands that inspired him.

		Clearly, Barragan was less interested in terms that described a specific construction, its form, materials or functional aspects but, instead, in those intangible concepts that captured architecture’s non-material aspects, its “spiritual” effect and calming impact on our senses and mind.
		Barragan once said that his architecture was “autobiographical.” It was heavily inspired by the memories he had of growing up in his family’s hacienda near the remote village of Mazamitla and the vernacular Mexican architecture that was profuse in the region.
		Barragan’s subsequent signature style became known for its use of light and water and the ways it enhanced the natural environment.

		A native of Guadalajara, Barragan came to Mexico City in the 1930’s, after political unrest stemming from the 1910 revolution had calmed and an expanding middle-class society demanded better accommodations in a booming economy.
		In 1945 Barragan initiated steps to bring about his vision: he began to purchase property in the Pedregal and to make plans for this enterprise that became the first automobile subdivision in Mexico.
		In the closing chapter, the author reflects on the influence of Barragan on modern Mexico and the project that was a turning point in Mexican architecture and landscape design.

		Beyond the voyeuristic thrill lies a genuine interest in what the Mexican architect Luis Barragán described as the ‘emotional piece of architecture’.
		Nowhere does an architect reveal more about himself – his passions, needs and philosophy – than in the houses which he builds for himself, where the only check or filter for his ideas is himself.
		In the midst of all the surreality, the feeling that Barragán was just around the corner persisted, I found myself wondering what he would have made of it all.
