<blockquote>
O'Gorman adhered to a philosophy of progressive socialism which ultimately affected both his writings and buildings. Influenced by [[Le Corbusier]] and other European Modernists, O'Gorman produced some of the first examples of functionalist architect within Mexico... but after 1950, ''Inspired by the works of [[Frank Lloyd Wright]], he advocated a form of organic architecture. He integrated vernacular forms and detailing with modern structural and spatial arrangements to achieve a culturally, socially, and environmentally significant architecture.
