About the Architect
For more than 40 years, Ricardo Legorreta has successfully integrated architecture, interior design and landscape architecture into a single discipline. He has won international acclaim for his design and architecture which is attuned to the land, respecting Latin American traditions of privacy and simplicity. By mastering the spectrum of the building process, he has created structures possessing uncanny color and light which combine monumentality and tradition. His designs achieve a superb blend of space, light and color. Legorreta brought back the “wall culture” of Mexico which was neglected by the international style of architecture that thrived in post war Mexico. It ignored the traditional native architecture based on thick wall systems, by integrating the column aesthetic. Mr. Legorreta emphasizes solids over voids, the use of color to enclose wall space, and the Latin American preference for privacy. Mr. Legorreta and his son Victor were both lead designers in creating the Latino Cultural Center.
