Luis Barragan Serenity Quotations

I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.

A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy

In alarming proportions the following words have disappeared from architectural publications: beauty, inspiration, magic, sorcery, enchantment, and also serenity, mystery, silence, privacy, astonishment. All of these have found a loving home in my soul.

Any work of architecture that does not express serenity is a mistake.
