In contrast to his father 's inspirations , young Mario was influenced by Mexican Modern Architects such as Luis Barragán , Max Cetto , and Mario Pani . In terms of landscape design , Schjetnan was drawn towards the works of Luis Barragán , Roberto Burle Marx and Lawrence Halprin . He was also interested in the revolution and work of leftist artists such as Diego Rivera , José Clemente Orozco , and Juan O'Gorman . Shortly after his graduation from UNAM , the events surrounding May 1968 in Paris and the Tlatelolco massacre in Mexico City inspired Shjetnan to design for social needs at the INFONAVIT ( Mexico 's federal institute for workers ' housing ) . Now with over 40 years of experience in his firm , " ecology is increasingly becoming the organizing principle of his work . " He is now inspired by architects such as Renzo Piano , Tadao Ando and Norman Foster in addition to environmental artists such as Doug Hollis , Richard Long , and James Turrel
