Serenity, silence, intimacy and amazement. Piece created as a tribute to the great Mexican architect Luis Barragán Pritzker Prize of Architecture in 1980, which left an endearing legacy of color, light, space and form in the architects of Mexico and the world. "The beauty, inspiration, enchantment, magic, enchantment, enchantment and others, such as serenity, silence, intimacy and amazement, have all disappeared in the publications devoted to architecture, all of which have found a loving reception in my soul. I am far from pretending to have done them full justice in my work, not for that they have ceased to be my lighthouse. " Luis Barragán. For these reasons, it is an honor for me to be able to represent a little of the beauty of the Jalisco Architect's work in the faces of an equally endearing object such as Victorinox's Swiss Knife. Illustration that shapes the concepts of a great personage of the modern history of my country.

Serenidad, Silencio, Intimidad y Asombro. (Pieza creada como homenaje al gran Arquitecto mexicano Luis Barragán premio Pritzker de Arquitectura en 1980, el cual dejo un entrañable legado de color, luz, espacio y forma en los arquitectos de México y el mundo. "En proporción alarmante han desaparecido en las publicaciones dedicadas a la arquitectura las palabras belleza, inspiración, embrujo, magia, sortilegio, encantamiento y también otras como serenidad, silencio, intimidad y asombro. Todas ellas han encontrado amorosa acogida en mi alma, y si estoy lejos de pretender haberles hecho plena justicia en mi obra, no por eso han dejado de ser mi faro". Luis Barragán. Por tales motivos, es para mi un honor poder representar un poco de la belleza de la obra del Arquitecto Jalisciense en las caras de un objeto igualmente entrañable como la navaja Suiza de Victorinox. Ilustración que plasma los conceptos de un gran personaje de la historia moderna de mi país).
