Description: "A lavish volume on the stunning interiors and houses of contemporary Mexican architect Miguel Ángel Aragonés. This beautiful monograph is the first book in English on Miguel Ángel Aragonés, a prolific architect known for his modernist sensibilities and artistic and creative use of lighting, with built work throughout Mexico, much of it in Mexico City. Considered an important member of the Mexican and Latin American architectural vanguard, Aragonés has gained international attention. Here beautiful photographs of Aragonés's work are paired with his academic writings on his work and on architecture in general. Covering all of Aragonés work to date, this volume is sure to appeal to those interested in such greats of Mexican Modernism as Legorreta and Barragan, as well as the Latin American school of Modernism"--Publisher's description.
