Luis Barragan’s Casa Gilardi is considered one of the most internationally transcendent works of contemporary architecture. His last project before passing, the house shows off the legendary Mexican architect's exemplary use of geometry and eye-popping color. In this new video for the design video channel Nowness, the home acts as the perfect stage for hosting a body-bending dance troupe that twists and moves through the building’s vibrant spaces and rooms.
Explaining his interest with Barragan’s architecture, Director Andres Arochi said: “I wanted to play around with and explore the architect’s design. He knew exactly when and where people stand, and how the combination of light and space makes them feel. When we began shooting, magic started to happen. Light burst in through the window, and the dancer’s bodies started to flow in a way I had not anticipated.”

This is not Casa Gilardi. This is Luis Barragán House and Studio.
This ain’t Gilardi House. With all respect, I think that you need to investigate a little more before publishing an article of this caliber because you confuse people who want to know about the real proyect.
Yikes!
