In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Legorreta and the second or maternal family name is Vilchis.
Ricardo Legorreta Vilchis (May 7, 1931 – December 30, 2011)[1] was a Mexican architect. He was a prolific designer of private houses, public buildings and master plans in Mexico, the United States and some other countries.[2]
Legorreta was a disciple of Luis Barragán and carried Barragan's ideas to a wider realm.[citation needed] Barragan, in the 1940s and 1950s amalgamated tradition and the modern movement in architecture yet his work is mostly limited to domestic architecture.[citation needed] Legorreta applied elements of Barragan's architecture in his work including bright colors, play of light and shadow, and solid Platonic geometric shapes.[citation needed] One of the important contributions of Legorreta has been the use of these elements in other building types such as hotels, factories as well as in commercial and educational buildings.[citation needed] His most famous works are the Camino Real Hotel in Mexico City, the IBM Factory in Guadalajara and the Cathedral of Managua.[citation needed]
