Editing Juan O'Gorman (section)

=== San Ángel houses ===
In 1929, O'Gorman purchased a plot containing two tennis courts in Mexico City's San Ángel [[List of neighborhoods in Mexico City|colonia]]. On the plot, O'Gorman constructed a small house and studio intended for use by his father, now known as the Cecil O'Gorman House. The building's forms were strongly influenced by the work of [[Le Corbusier]], whose theories of architecture O'Gorman studied.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mascontext.com/issues/27-debate-fall-15/the-personal-debate-of-juan-ogorman/|title=The Personal Debate of Juan O'Gorman|date=2015-12-17|website=MAS CONTEXT|language=en-US|access-date=2020-01-01}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite news|last=Traynor|first=Jessica|date=2018-12-26|title=Juan O'Gorman, architect behind Mexico City's most intriguing buildings|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/abroad/juan-o-gorman-architect-behind-mexico-city-s-most-intriguing-buildings-1.3736691|access-date=2020-10-12|newspaper=The Irish Times|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite news|last=Quinn|first=Gary|date=2007-06-21|title=Rediscovering our man in Mexico City, Juan O'Gorman|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/homes-and-property/rediscovering-our-man-in-mexico-city-juan-o-gorman-1.1211437|access-date=2020-10-12|newspaper=The Irish Times|language=en}}</ref> O'Gorman dubbed the house the first functionalist structure in Latin America.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PYWzBgAAQBAJ&q=tennis+court+o%27gorman&pg=PA71|title=Modern Architecture in Latin America: Art, Technology, and Utopia|last1=Carranza|first1=Luis E.|last2=Lara|first2=Fernando Luiz|date=2015-01-05|publisher=University of Texas Press|isbn=978-0-292-76297-8|language=en}}</ref><ref name="Danes2" />

Diego Rivera, a contemporary of O'Gorman, impressed with the design of the Cecil O'Gorman House, commissioned the architect to design a home for him and [[Frida Kahlo]] on an adjacent plot (O'Gorman and Kahlo had been friends since high school in Coyoacan).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Castro |first=Claudio |date=2021-02-02 |title=A Mexico City Tour of Architect Juan O'Gorman’s Design Legacy |url=https://www.cntraveler.com/story/a-mexico-city-tour-of-architect-juan-ogormans-design-legacy |access-date=2024-11-20 |website=Condé Nast Traveler |language=en-US}}</ref> The house was built in a similar functionalist style from 1931 to 1932.<ref name="Danes2" /><ref name=":0" /> The Rivera-Kahlo house was two houses connected by a bridge.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|title=Juan O'Gorman|url=http://architectuul.com/architect/juan-o-gorman|access-date=2020-10-13|website=architectuul.com|archive-date=2020-10-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201018102322/http://architectuul.com/architect/juan-o-gorman|url-status=dead}}</ref> Both houses were purchased to be restored and opened to the public with the [[Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Home Studio Museum|Rivera-Kahlo house]] operating as a museum.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Orzechowski|first=Alan Rojas|date=2018-01-17|title=Restoring the past: The Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo Home Studio|url=https://www.iconichouses.org/news/restoring-the-past-the-diego-rivera-and-frida-kahlo-home-studio|access-date=2020-10-13|website=www.iconichouses.org|language=en}}</ref>
