Spanning the 1920s to the 1980s, Mexican architect Luis Barragán's prolific career evolved through distinct phases. After traveling to the United States and Europe in the early 1930s and immersing himself in an international architectural discourse, Barragán began incorporating principles derived from functionalism and modernism in his work, as seen in the El Arenal Parish Church, whose unadorned geometric forms contrast with the historically inspired architecture found in the houses for Emiliano Robles León, one of Barragán's early projects in Guadalajara.
