Abstract
This paper deals with modern architectural movement through works of architect Juan O'Gorman (1905-1982) and aims to reveal the present significance of concerns and architectural responses that mark his career. The crossing boundaries between political and aesthetic fragments make him one of the most complex figures in the history of Modern architecture in post-Revolutionary Mexico. One of those reasons is that he was the self-critical student of the Academy which looks at the historical changes to architectural totality. In the 1930s, O'Gorman viewed architecture as a functional response to human needs. If his works are compared with Juan Legarreta's works, who was his colleague, his own vacillation represents an immense struggle to produce a variety of relationship of Mexican social frameworks. This prescription proved to apply in the context of Mexico's that was haunted by temporal situation and the agenda of the affirmation posited of modern architectural movement.
