Descrição: Once a hamlet south-west of Mexico City, the colonial enclave of San Angel was swallowed by the sprawling metropolis in the 20th century to become one of its most charming neighbourhoods, known for the large bougainvillea-covered homes lining its cobblestoned streets. Somewhat unexpectedly, two conjoined paradigms of 20th-century architecture stand amid the area's neo-Spanish, high-bourgeois streetscape; in 1932, the 27-year-old architect Juan O'Gorman completed a pair of linked residences and ateliers for the newly wed painters Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo on a prominent corner of Avenida Altavista. The complex consists of two separate cube-like structures connected, at roof level, by an uncovered narrow walkway. Kahlo's house is smaller, in a sign of the time's gender dynamics, but also on account of Rivera's more public-facing, large-format practice. Both volumes are simple concrete boxes resting on pilotis, with large glazed expanses.
