Ricardo Legorreta (1931-2011) was one of Mexico's most influential modern architects. Born in Mexico City, he founded the renowned Legorreta Arquitectos firm. Legorreta became famous for his unique architectural style that masterfully blended modernist design principles with traditional Mexican cultural elements, creating colorful, light-filled spaces. His extensive portfolio spanned residential, commercial, and public buildings, including landmark structures in Mexico City. His architectural philosophy emphasized dialogue between buildings and their environment, using bold colors, geometric forms, and natural light to create distinctive spatial experiences that profoundly influenced modern architecture in Latin America. more

“Well, let’s start with the maxim that the best writing is understated, meaning it’s not full of flourishes and semaphores and tap dancing and vocabulary dumps that get in the way of the story you are telling. Once you accept that, what are you left with? You are left with the story you are telling. The story you are telling is only as good as the information in it: things you elicit, or things you observe, that make a narrative come alive; things that support your point not just through assertion, but through example; quotes that don’t just convey information, but also personality.”

“We want to believe that the world is understandable and controllable and unthreatening, that if we follow the rules, we'll be okay. So, when this kind of thing happens to other people, we need to put them in a different category from us. We don't want to resemble them, and the fact that we might is too terrifying to deal with. So, they have to be monsters.”

“The issue Fodor writes about is central to the psychology of perception, cognition, and action. It is the central issue for anyone who would seriously study the neurobiology of behavior: Is the mind organized horizontally or vertically or both, and what are the consequences to psychology of proceeding on one assumption or the other? This has been little analyzed and written about. Jerry Fodor has repaired that omission and had done it brilliantly.”
