Mexico's Best Architects

Luis Barragán was born in 1902 in Guadalajara, Jalisco. He was one of the most important architects of the 20th century and the only Mexican to earn the Pritzker Award, in 1980. His great influence on Mexican modernity is still evident and architects around the world continue studying his work. He combined a religious mysticism with his desires to rescue national roots, exalting beauty by integrating it with nature. With this philosophy in mind, he created massive constructions of thick walls and small openings, always using local textures and bright colors, using bodies of water with a special emphasis on gardens.

Ricardo Legorreta was born in Mexico City in 1931 and graduated from the School of Architecture of the National University of Mexico in 1952. His impressive use of color, light and texture are the pillars of his famous concept of space, integrating Mexican esthetics to the fundamentals of the designs he always expresses on a monumental scale. Outstanding among his best known works are the Camino Real hotels in Mexico City, Cancun and Ixtapa; the Renault factory in Torreón; Televisa’s headquarters and Papalote Children’s Museum in Mexico City; the Contemporary Art Museum MARCO in Monterrey and the remodeling of Chapultepec Zoo. He has also made an enormous contribution to world architecture, designing the Discovery Museum of California, the Main Library of San Antonio in Texas, the Visual Arts Center in New Mexico, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Managua in Nicaragua and the Sheraton Hotel in Bilbao, Spain. He is currently working for projects in Costa Rica, Hawaii and Chicago. He was granted the Visual Arts Award and is permanent advisor to the Ministry of Art and Culture in Mexico. 


MUSEO SOUMAYA 

Mariachis

Prior to the arrival of Cortes the music of Mexico, played with rattles, drums, reed and clay flutes, and conch-shell horns, was an integral part of religious celebrations. Quickly, however, as Christianity spread, in many areas these instruments gave way to instruments imported by the Spanish: violins, guitars and harps, brass horns, and woodwinds. The Indian and mestizo musicians not only learned to play European instruments, but also to build their own, sometimes giving them shapes and tunings of their own invention. Music and dance were important elements of Spanish theatrical productions, enormously popular throughout the Spanish speaking world during the colonial period. The typical Spanish theatrical orchestra of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries was comprised of violins (usually two), harp and guitars (or guitar variants). It was from this group that several of the most distinctive regional ensembles of Mexico developed, including the Mariachi.

Currently, the best scholarly opinion is that the word mariachi has native roots. One theory is that it comes from the name of the wood used to make the platform on which the performers danced to the music of the village musicians. But whatever its true source - and the truth may never be discovered with absolute certainty - the word today has one meaning that is crystal clear: Mariachi means on of the most exciting and enchanting musical ensembles found anywhere in the world.

Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs are mammals that have been around for millions of years. These animals naturally live through most of Africa and in southern Europe. They are primarily insectivores, but will eat a variety of different animal and plant matter when available. They are nocturnal and spend most of the day sleeping and become active at dusk. A hedgehog’s most distinctive trait are his quills. Quills are sharp hollow hairs that are used as a defense. When threatened, a hedgehog is able to curl up into a ball with its quills extended. The quills usually have white tips with brown bands and act as camouflage. Other color variations can be brown, black, cream, gray, and even albino.

Hedgehogs as Pets The African pygmy hedgehog is the most common type sold as pets. It can grow to be around six to nine inches long. Four to six years is a normal life span, but a pet hedgehog can live up to ten years. It is a solitary animal and should live alone. A hedgehog is a very active animal. He will require a large cage even though he is small. Fortunately, there are many cages of adequate size available for reasonable prices. He will also need time outside of his cage to explore and run around. Since hedgehogs are nocturnal, they are best for people who are home in the evenings and at night. A hedgehog may not be a suitable pet for small children. Sometimes kids can be overzealous with their affection causing a hedgehog to become afraid and extend his quills. This could lead to injury of a child or pet. A hedgehog is fun to watch, quiet, not aggressive, and is fairly easy to care for. It is a clean animal and has very little smell. His food is easily attainable and inexpensive. A hedgehog can be a wonderful addition for someone who wants a unique and entertaining pet.
