La modernidad arquitectónica tapatía: el uso de elementos y recursos de la tradición constructiva

Abstract

When the modern architecture was already established in México’s Capital City, Guadalajara –one of the most prosperous and main provinces of México–, started to introduce itself to this movement. Ignacio Díaz Morales, friend and classmate of Luis Barragán at the School of Engineering, was the one who took upon himself the task of organizing a school that had the ideology of its own model. This architecture had to be local as well as universal, adjusted to the cultural needs and the economic momentum Guadalajara was experiencing. The base was the use of traditional and artisan construction in the code of modernity.
