Casa Luis Barragán
This is the first building I send every architect to. The living-room light shaft and the color planes are the whole grammar of Mexican modernism, held in one house.
Barragán's own house, a UNESCO site — the clearest lesson anywhere in how color, light, and proportion make a room. Book weeks ahead.
