==CasaLuis==
Luis Barragán House and Studio, also known as Casa Luis Barragán, is the former residence of architect [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Barrag%C3%A1n Luis Barragán] in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Hidalgo,_Mexico_City Miguel Hidalgo] district, Mexico City. It is owned by the Fundación de Arquitectura Tapatía and the Government of the State of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalisco Jalisco]. It is now a museum exhibiting Barragán's work and is also used by visiting architects. It retains the original furniture and Barragán's personal objects. These include a mostly Mexican art collection spanning the 16th to 20th century, with works by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso Picasso], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Rivera Diego Rivera], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Clemente_Orozco José Clemente Orozco], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jes%C3%BAs_Reyes_Ferreira Jesús Reyes Ferreira] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Covarrubias Miguel Covarrubias].
Located in the west of Mexico City, the residence was built in 1948 after the Second World War. It reflects Barragán's design style during this period and remained his residence until his death in 1988. In 1994 it was converted into a museum, run by Barragán's home state of Jalisco and the Arquitectura Tapatía Luis Barragán Foundation, with tours available only by appointment. In 2004, it was named a [[World Heritage Sites|World Heritage Site]] by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNESCO UNESCO] because it is one of the most influential and representative examples of modern Mexican architecture.
