Ricardo Legorreta

He was a prolific designer of private houses, public buildings and master plans in Mexico, the United States and some other countries.

[2] Legorreta was a disciple of Luis Barragán and carried Barragan's ideas to a wider realm.

[citation needed] Legorreta applied elements of Barragan's architecture in his work including bright colors, play of light and shadow, and solid Platonic geometric shapes.

[citation needed] His most famous works are the Camino Real Hotel in Mexico City, the IBM Factory in Guadalajara and the Cathedral of Managua.

[citation needed] In 2000, Legoretta received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement.
