Rizzoli published the first volume of his work in 1997, which featured such landmarks as his legendary Camino Real Hotel in Mexico City, actor Ricardo Montalban's home in Hollywood, and the Pershing Square redevelopment in downtown Los Angeles. Now in practice with his son Victor, Legorreta continues to expand his firm with new projects throughout the world. There are new houses in Israel, Miami, Brazil, Japan, Reno, Hawaii, California, and, of course, Mexico. Among the thirtyfive projects shown in this volume, the reader will also see the new Visual Arts Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, California, and the Zandra Rhodes Museum in London. Legorreta is an architect's architect, admired and respected for his ability to create completely modern buildings that remain timeless and classic.
