The distinctive architecture of the Latino Cultural Center is known for its vivid colors and solid exteriors. The architect, Ricardo Legorreta, was born in Mexico City in 1931. For more than 40 years, Ricardo Legorreta has successfully integrated architecture, interior design and landscape architecture into a single discipline. He has won international acclaim for his design and architecture, which is attuned to the natural landscape, and respecting Latin American traditions of privacy and simplicity.
By mastering the spectrum of the building process, he has created structures possessing uncanny color and light which combine monumentality and tradition. Legorreta brought back the “wall culture” of Mexico which was neglected by the international style of architecture that thrived in post-war Mexico. Mr. Legorreta emphasizes solids over voids, the use of color to enclose wall space, and the Latin American preference for privacy. Mr. Legorreta and his son Victor were both lead designers in creating the Latino Cultural Center.
