- Summary:
- Ricardo Legorreta is one of Mexico's most prolific and well-known architects. The first Rizzoli volume on his work, published in 1997, featured such landmarks as his legendary Camino Real Hotel in Mexico City, actor Ricardo Montalban's home in Hollywood, the Pershing Square redevelopment in downtown Los Angeles, and the Metropolitan Cathedral in Managua, Nicaragua. Now in practice with his son Victor, their firm continues to expand with new projects throughout the world. There are new houses in Israel, Miami, Brazil, Japan, Reno, Hawaii, California, and of course, Mexico. Among the thirty-five projects shown in this volume, the reader will also see the new Visual Arts Center in Santa Fe, NM, new dormitories for Stanford University and University of Chicago, the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, CA, and the Zandra Rhodes Museum in London. Works in progress feature, among others, plans for the new campus for the American University in Cairo, a new Sheraton Hotel in Bilbao, Spain, and Juarez Plaza in the historical center of Mexico City.
