I've always thought Guadalajara to be a great city anyway. I just find this style of build very beautiful.

Looking to the haciendas and convents of the surrounding countryside for inspiration, they covered walls with thick layers of plaster and organized their interiors around cloistral gardens. As architecture in Guadalajara started to look more modern in the 1950s and ’60s — the forms reduced to abstract cubes; banks of windows shielded by brise-soleils — the heirs of the Tapatío School often used inscrutable facades to conceal winding passageways and quiet corners for contemplation: buildings that appealed to both a growing city and its pious population. As the 44-year-old architect Alejandro Guerrero, one of the city’s most prominent contemporary practitioners, told me, “even Modernism in Guadalajara was never completely modern.”
