On Time and Experience: Luis Barragán and Modern Living

Vitra Design Museum, Barragán Foundation Stiftung, 2025

A book that invites readers not merely to look at architecture, but to experience it: On Time and Experience: Luis Barragán and Modern Living opens up an unfamiliar approach to one of the most fascinating bodies of work of the twentieth century.Rather than reproducing well-known images or iconic perspectives, Luis E. Carranza directs attention to those sensorial qualities that reveal themselves only through direct engagement with space and material. He explores how the built environment generates atmosphere - through light, color, texture, and intimacy - and demonstrates why these quiet, subtle experiences form the core of an architectural thinking that remains relevant today.

More about »On Time and Experience: Luis Barragán and Modern Living«

The book originates from Carranza’s lecture, which in 2023 inaugurated the new Barragán Lectures at the Vitra Design Museum. The publication weaves his analysis together with previously little-seen archival materials and photographs from the Barragán Foundation, whose unique collection has been housed on the Vitra Campus since 2022. The result is a book that both informs and sensitizes - toward an architecture that reveals itself only through touch, proximity, and attentive perception.
