Luis Barragan

“My house is my refuge, an emotional piece of architecture, not a cold piece of convenience.”

“Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.”

“Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all.”

“Life deprived of beauty is not worthy of being called human.”

“A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.”
