Mexican architect and painter Juan O´Gorman (1905?82) had a spectacular debut as an architect, designing his own house at the age of 24. On the strength of this building, Diego Rivera commissioned O´Gorman to design a pair of studio-houses for himself and Frida Kahlo on contiguous lots, connected by a bridge. But O´Gorman was somewhat forgotten in histories of modern architecture, until the restoration of Rivera´s and Kahlo´s house in the late 1990s led to a rediscovery of the architect´s work and a reappraisal of his place in contemporary Mexican architecture. In 2013 O´Gorman´s own first house, which he began designing in 1929 and completed in 1931, was restored. Uncompromisingly radical and rigorously functional, this design reveals O´Gorman as a Mexican pioneer of avant-garde architecture. Casa O´Gorman 1929 tells the story of this unique building and how it was salvaged through beautiful color photographs.
