Located in the Miguel Hidalgo district of western Mexico City, the Luis Barragán House and Studio is the former residence and workplace of architect Luis Barragán, built in 1948 in the post-war era. The house exemplifies Barragán's design philosophy of that period and served as his home until his death in 1988. Now operated as a museum by the Fundación de Arquitectura Tapatía and the Government of Jalisco, it preserves the original furnishings and Barragán's personal collection of Mexican art spanning the sixteenth to twentieth centuries, including works by Picasso, Diego Rivera, and José Clemente Orozco. The property remains an active venue for visiting architects and is accessible by appointment only. UNESCO designated it a World Heritage Site in 2004, recognizing it as one of the most influential and representative examples of modern Mexican architecture.
