according to this page

it's 470 sm or5,060 sf

damn it. thanks holz. I've been freaking out trying to get it done. I must have missed something incredibly simple.

yeah. i dunno how solid that is. i found a few references to 5200 sf.

you can always browse[img=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1136/documents/]unesco[/url]

and also an interesting NYT article on barragan by
pawson

HOLZ it does feels that size (470 sm), maybe a little bit smaller, maybe 400....
FULERu can always call directly to the house/museum and ask

Yeah, but it was a Sunday Night, and my Spanish isn't nearly as good as my German.

MAD, (or any one for that matter) who are some other great Mexican Architects, besides TEN, Legorreta+Legorreta, Barragan, and Central de Arquitectura?

juan o'gorman
alberto kalach
Pedro Ramirez Vasquez
Teodoro Gonzalez de Leon

oh, also
Mathias Goeritz
Félix Candela

mmhhh i personally dont like CENTRAL.... dont get me wrong, i went to school with them, guys r cool, but i dont think they're doing nothing new....

anyways

and im sure im forgetting other people w/ineresting work.... but i guess this will keep u busy enough visiting websites :)

technically... Goeritz was a sculptor not an architect, and he was German, he collaborated w/Barragan and did a couple of buildings on his own (Museum Eco)
and Candela was also an inmigrant, he was Spanish

but yeah hey both are kind of cornerstons of the "modern" movement of the mexican architecture...which i wonder if is now over or we still dragin' it :P

*NOTE: they do speak english at the Casa Barragan museum, and/or they can send u the info via e.mail on better written english :)

Ivan Hernandez Quintela | LUDENS: www.ludens.com.mx

Thanks guys. I know it looks like I'm lazy, but I really don't know where to begin looking on these Mexican Architects. I can ramble about American and European architects all day. Even some Australian. But I hardly know anything about our neighbors to the south.

well im interested in people doing god architectural work in central america (like guatemala, costa rica, panama, etc) and or good YOUNG architecture (not industrial design) brazilians!...so if anybody knows some, share....

thanks MAD for that extensive list - I think I'll blog a few of them in the coming weeks.

feel free to do it philia hope that keep the audience busy while i do my triunfal breakthrou :P
