Juan O’Gorman and his cave-house. Notes for a reconstruction. Documental exhibit is dedicated to the indispensable historian and extraordinary art critic Ida Rodríguez Prampolini (1925-2017) to whom we owe, to a large extent, the preservation and dissemination of the critical recognition of Juan O’Gorman. She was also one of the few critical voices that evidenced at the time the destruction of the cave-house with clear knowledge of what this meant for the history of the creative future of México.

Divided in five sections, Juan O’Gorman and his cave-house. Notes for a reconstruction. Documental exhibit offered the public views onto his work along several questions:

• Who was Juan O’Gorman?
• What was the impact of organic architecture?
• What is and was Mexico’s role in the Organic Architecture movement?
• What were Juan O’Gorman’s technical and creative solutions in Organic Architecture?
• What was Juan O’Gorman’s cave-house and how do we understand the cave-house in Juan O’Gorman’s creative career?
• Finally, how did people live in a cave made of pure rock in the middle of the 20th century?
