This paper deals with modern architectural movement through architect Juan O'Gorman (1905-1982) and aims to reveal the present significance of concerns and architectural responses that mark his late career in the 1940s and 1950s. In Mexico, the University City (1949-1952) rejected as unacceptable the 'International Style' vocabulary. In relation to these problems, a critical question is how O'Gorman built his own house among the lava beds of Pedregal in Mexico City. He demonstrated one of the most pertinent methods to integrate with nature. For instance, firstly, the representation of pre-Columbian cultures for O'Gorman provides an ineluctable tension that is alert to the details of the lava and attends to complexities of meanings. Secondly, compared with the plastic integration of the experimental museum El Eco (1953), the achievements of his works approach the pictorial composition and attempt to distinguish architectural forms. And thirdly, this case is quite certainly drawn to the symptom of an underlying social totality.
