Guadalajara, México: Taller Gráfica de Comala, 2023. The book was composed in movable metal type and Intertype with the collaboration of the master Salvador Botello, printed on cotton DePonte paper in 20 pages in 8° vertical format (22.5 X 13 cm.). The 12 plates of the engraving folder were printed on Fabriano Unica and Watercolor cotton paper in 4° format (28 x 17.5 cm.). The work of Jalisco architect Luis Barragán Morfín is one of the highest expressions of Mexican architecture of the 20th century. Born from a thoughtful creative process, it combines tradition and modernity in a unique way. From the work bequeathed by Barragán, there are some masterpieces of enormous importance and some significant reflections on the creative act of conceiving architecture that we recover in this book-folder of engravings stamped as a tribute to this singular character. Accompanying the reflections presented as plates, Nacho Gómez Arriola produced numerous printed engravings of the original plates on Fabriano Murillo handmade cotton paper and a book with an essay on his work and reflections.
