Luis MacGregor Krieger

He is also the grandfather of Mexican architect Augusto Rodelo Mac Gregor.

One of his first projects was the design and construction of a small museum for the archeological site of Cuicuilco in southern Mexico City, which still stands and operates today.

His predominant architectural style was Modernist, with many influences from his contemporaries during the mid-century movement around the world.

Prior to his thesis, all archeological artifacts and study groups in Mexico were located in several warehouses, museums, and government facilities scattered across the country without a proper organizational system or building.

His thesis revolutionized and triggered the efforts to create such an institution in Mexico City.
