Beskrivning

The second Rizzoli publication dedicated to an important member of the Mexican and Latin American architectural vanguard, celebrating exceptional craftsmanship and refined sophistication, and guided by the ideals of Mexican modernism.Farca looks to the work of the late design icon Luis Barragán for inspiration, blending tradition with modernity. He focuses on the importance of collaborating with indigenous artisans who work in age-old Mexican crafts, to create environmentally sustainable, indoor/outdoor spaces and furniture with a palette of natural materials, translated through a contemporary luxury lens. This lavish volume features sixteen of his newly built private residences in Mexico and California that show off his spectacular designs for seamless indoor and outdoor living.Notable projects include sun-drenched beach houses in Los Angeles and throughout Mexico that integrate artisanal practices, such as mosaics and patterns of hammered copper, which contribute to the local communities. At the start of any project, Farca and his team undertake a detailed bioclimatic study of a site, documenting the wind, light, and temperature conditions hour to hour and day to day. Those shifts generate the framework for layouts, form, flow, and material choices. At the Los Jales house in Jalisco sun washes deliberately across exterior walls of stucco and cast-in-place concrete, their distinctive surfaces shifting into an immersive tapestry of complementary gray tones, a tableau en grisaille. Beyond the exterior walls the unexpected awaits, be it a sublime courtyard planted with branching cacti; a seamless sweep of pool, surf, and sky; or a floating central staircase bathed in natural light. Step through the front doors and the outside world recedes as textures, surfaces, finishes, and geometries come into focus, inviting exploration and contemplation.

Recensioner i media

"Citing the late Luis Barragán as inspiration and collaborating with indigenous Mexican craft artisans, Ezequiel Farca is creating a new vernacular for Latin American architecture. And the 16 projects in this book, mainly located in sun-drenched Mexico and California, are showpieces for indoor-outdoor, sustainable living too. In the introduction, AD’s global features director Sam Cochran notes how Farca’s stark exteriors shroud the organically choreographed spaces within: 'If mystery is magic, Farca waves a mighty wand.'" — ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST"The second Rizzoli publication dedicated to an important member of the Mexican and Latin American architectural vanguard, celebrating exceptional craftsmanship and refined sophistication, and guided by the ideals of Mexican modernism." — ASPIRE METRO "Farca looks to the work of the late design icon Luis Barragán for inspiration, blending tradition with modernity.

The 1919 building was a private home turned school before the couple renovated it. They explained how they preserved original features like multicolored tile floors while adding such modernist interventions as a perforated concrete screen that tempers heat and filters light." — ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
