"Citing the late Luis Barragán as inspiration and collaborating with indigenous Mexican craft artisans, Ezequiel Farca is creating a new vernacular for Latin American architecture. And the 16 projects in this book, mainly located in sun-drenched Mexico and California, are showpieces for indoor-outdoor, sustainable living too. In the introduction, AD’s global features director Sam Cochran notes how Farca’s stark exteriors shroud the organically choreographed spaces within: 'If mystery is magic, Farca waves a mighty wand.'" — ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST"The second Rizzoli publication dedicated to an important member of the Mexican and Latin American architectural vanguard, celebrating exceptional craftsmanship and refined sophistication, and guided by the ideals of Mexican modernism." — ASPIRE METRO "Farca looks to the work of the late design icon Luis Barragán for inspiration, blending tradition with modernity. He focuses on the importance of collaborating with indigenous artisans who work in age-old Mexican crafts, to create environmentally sustainable, indoor/outdoor spaces and furniture with a palette of natural materials, translated through a contemporary luxury lens. This lavish volume features sixteen of his newly built private residences in Mexico and California that show off his spectacular designs for seamless indoor and outdoor living." — AMAZING ARCHITECTURE"Back in Mérida, we visited Casa Escuela, a residence, hotel, and cultural hub restored by architect Ezequiel Farca and his wife, the designer Monica Calderón. The 1919 building was a private home turned school before the couple renovated it. They explained how they preserved original features like multicolored tile floors while adding such modernist interventions as a perforated concrete screen that tempers heat and filters light." — ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
