Synopsis

Uno de los mas grandes arquitectos mexicanos del siglo XX es Manuel Parra, pese a que se rehuso a recibir homenajes en vida. Su trabajo se distinguia por reutilizar piezas provenientes de las demoliciones de casonas antiguas, para resignificarlas en espacios contemporaneos, con un irremplazable sabor de lo mexicano. Estas paginas son ventanas que nos permiten mirar al interior de su arquitectura, y nos ofrecen una perspectiva entranable, casi una carta de amor, de tan notable artista.

One of the greatest architects of twentieth century Mexican Manuel Parra, although he refused to receive tributes in life. His work was distinguished by reusing parts from the demolition of old houses, give a new meaning in contemporary spaces, with an irreplaceable flavor of Mexico. These pages are windows that allow us to look into his architecture, and offer an intimate perspective, almost a love letter, with such notable artist.
