ARCHITECTURE

Several years after the presentation in Mexico of Jill Magid's work dedicated to the figure and work of architect Luis Barragán, The Barragán Archives, and the multiple reactions sparked by the transformation of Luis Barragán into a diamond, the book 525 grams. Jill Magid and the transformation of Barragán attempts to provide answers to several questions surrounding this controversial phenomenon: how did Jill Magid manage, execute, and finance the transformation of Luis Barragán into an engagement ring? What importance and impact do the media reactions have on the understanding of Jill Magid's project? Do The Barragán Archives constitute a tribute to the life and work of the Mexican architect?
