Quotes by Luis Barragan

Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.

My house is my refuge, an emotional piece of architecture, not a cold piece of convenience.

A garden must combine the poetic and the mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.

Life deprived of beauty is not worthy of being called human.

Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all.
