Luis Barragán: The Eye Embodied

The architecture of the renowned Mexican architect 'Luis Barragán' (1902-1988) is filled with what looks like a peaceful companionship of seemingly contrasting forces: old and new, global and local, reality and dream, complexity and simplicity. These dualities, undoubtedly, make his works very interesting but also difficult to explain and analyze.
The following is an interview that I did with Wim van den Bergh, the author of "Luis Barragán: The Eye Embodied" in January-February 2017.
