# Casa-Cueva Juan O'Gorman

Juan O'Gorman · [Mexico City](https://fondomoderno.com/explore/cities/mexico-city)

Status: Demolished

O'Gorman built the house into a natural cavity in the volcanic landscape rather than placing a separate object above it. Mosaics, rock surfaces and irregular rooms marked his movement away from strict functionalism toward an architecture shaped by terrain and personal symbolism.
