Biography

Mexican architect known for having developed several theories of Modernist architecture, and for designing the master plan for the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

Villagrán García designed the huge National Stadium in Mexico City as a neo-Colonial structure, with a seating capacity of least 30,000. Given the size, it needed to be of concrete. However, the concrete also contained stone and volcanic tezontle, in a revival of the eighteenth-century style.

He received the National Prize for Arts and Sciences in 1968, and the National Prize of Architecture in 1980.

He died on 10 June 1982, aged 80.
