A lavish volume on the modern Mexican architect Diego Villaseñor, who is
known for working with natural light and the forms of nature. This
beautiful monograph is the first book in English on Diego Villaseñor, a
prolific architect with built work throughout Mexico who is known for
his sensual and emotional designs. Influenced by Luis Barragán in his
use of proportion, light, and shadow, as well as in his relationship to
the landscape, Villaseñor is considered an important member of the
Mexican and Latin American architectural vanguard.Here, beautiful
photographs of Villaseñor’s work, sited in spectacular natural settings,
are paired with his writings. Covering all of Villaseñor’s work to
date, including his hotels and resorts (such as the Four Seasons hotels
throughout Mexico and the Dominican Republic) as well as his residential
projects, this volume is sure to appeal to those interested in the
greats of Mexican Modernism such as Legorreta and Barragán, as well as
the Latin American school of Modernism.
