Visits are allowed, but only by appointment, and don’t be surprised if you find the scent of tortillas coming from the kitchen and a bottle of wine open on the table. It’s exactly how Luis Barragán, the genius architect responsible for the home designed between 1947 and 1950, would have wanted it: lively, authentic, and familiar. . “Any work of architecture which does not express serenity is a mistake,” said Barragán, a star of the 20th century architecture scene and Pritzker Prize winner in 1980. Stepping onto the property, his words seem to echo, immediately tangible in the home's pink palette, revealing the architect’s predilection for intense and vibrant colors. Even in its grandeur, Casa Pedregal reveals itself little by little: pastel-colored walls, slices of protruding light, and an emanating aura of peace. It’s as if the metropolitan madness beyond has ceased to exist. . And yet, the home is located in one of the most highly populated areas of the world: Mexico City, or more precisely, a stretch of volcanic stone that spans over 80 m2. Untouched until the ’40s, the dark and rocky terrain is owed to the Xitle volcano, whose red hot ashes settled over the area some 1600 years earlier. “El Pedregal”, locals call it, the peripheral zone marked by rocky and uninhabitable landscapes. . But the city continued growing, looking to the outskirts for new development, where a bed of volcanic stone to the southwest was transformed into a space for experimentation with utopian leanings. Architects like Max Cetto, Mathías Goeritz, Francisco Artigas, and Pedro Ramírez Vázquez soon arrived, bringing with them a slew of Modernist ideas, but it was Barragán who left his mark on the area, designing the pink house everyone still comes to visit. .」11月21日 7時20分
