Cuadra San Cristóbal
No architect ever used an animal as a moving element better. The horses cross the pink plane and break the water's mirror — the building is only complete when they do.
Barragán's equestrian estate — a plane of rose-pink wall, a still trough of water, and horses that walk the composition into life. Visits by appointment.
