Mexican architect Luis Barragán's prolific career, which spanned the 1920s to the 1980s, evolved through distinct phases. After traveling to the United States and Europe in the early 1930s and immersing himself in a broader architectural discourse, Barragán began incorporating principles derived from functionalism and modernism in his work, as seen in the Pizarro Suárez House, whose unadorned geometric forms contrast with his earlier projects in Guadalajara, such as the house in Calle Pedro Loza, which evince the aesthetics of traditional Mediterranean and Mexican styles.
