Spanning the 1920s to the 1980s, Mexican architect Luis Barragán's prolific career evolved through distinct phases. As epitomized by the house in Calle Pedro Loza in Guadalajara, many of Barragán's first projects integrated traditional Mexican building techniques into Mediterranean designs. Extensive travels abroad later sparked an engagement with modernist and functionalist aesthetics—styles whose emphasis on utility and whose repudiation of traditional architecture's more ornamental elements are readily apparent in Barragán's Pizarro Suárez House.
