סיכום:This essay is centered on new discoveries that put into crisis the history of Juan O’Gorman’s O’Gorman House and the House and Studio of Diego Rivera: a signature on the façade of the former and, as a result of detailed analysis of recently discovered photographs, the proof of the existence of a signature on the latter. Through these signatures, the traditional history of functionalist architecture in Mexico, its beginnings and its relationship to contemporary ideas of art can be reevaluated and corrected. A contexualized re-reading of the writings of the architect, with this new information, yields a more nuanced and complex idea regarding the various debates of art and architecture that are central to understanding his production in the 1930s.
