Ricardo Legorreta Vilchis (7. maj 1931 – 30. december 2011) var en mexicansk arkitekt. Han var en produktiv designer af private huse, offentlige bygninger og masterplaner i Mexico, USA og nogle få andre lande.

Han blev tildelt den prestigefyldte UIA Gold Medal i 1999,[3] AIA Gold Medal i 2000 og Praemium Imperiale i 2011.

Arkitektonisk udtryk

Legorreta var disciple af Luis Barragán og bragte Barragáns ideer ud i en større ramme.[citation needed] Barragan, i 1940'erne og 1950'erne, samlede tradition og den moderne bevægelse i arkitekturen, men hans arbejde er for det meste begrænset til privat arkitektur.[citation needed] Legorreta anvendte elementer fra Barragáns arkitektur i sit arbejde, herunder lyse farver, leg med lys og skygge samt solide Platoniske geometriske former.[citation needed] En af Legorreta's vigtige bidrag har været brugen af disse elementer i andre bygningstyper som hoteller, fabrikker samt i kommercielle og uddannelsesmæssige bygninger. Hans mest berømte værker er Camino Real Hotel i Mexico City, IBM-fabrikken i Guadalajara og katedralen i Managua."(bron: wiki)

Architectural expression

Legorreta was a disciple of Luis Barragán and carried Barragan's ideas to a wider realm.[citation needed] Barragan, in the 1940s and 1950s amalgamated tradition and the modern movement in architecture yet his work is mostly limited to domestic architecture.[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] One of the important contributions of Legorreta has been the use of these elements in other building types such as hotels, factories as well as in commercial and educational buildings. His most famous works are the Camino Real Hotel in Mexico City, the IBM Factory in Guadalajara and the Cathedral of Managua."(bron: wiki)
