Download or read book Early Architecture in New Mexico written by Bainbridge Bunting and published by Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated account of sixteen hundred years of New Mexico's architectural history is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject. Emphasizing secular buildings, noted architectural historian Bainbridge Bunting begins by describing the fourth-century pithouses of the Basket Makers and goes on to examine the buildings of the Pueblo Indians and the architecture of the Spanish Colonial, Mexican, and Territorial New Mexican periods. His discussion of Pueblo buildings covers material rarely dealt with in the study of architecture. Bunting makes the reader aware not only of the evolutionary process in New Mexico architecture, but also of the strong sense of continuity that characterizes it. Although such events as the American takeover of the area in 1848 and the arrival of the railroad in 1880 led to major modifications in New Mexico's architectural repertoire, pre-American and pre-Hispanic styles have survived as dominant architectural models. The result of twenty-five years of research, this book grew out of a series of lectures delivered in 1973 to the Hispanic Preservation Division of the Graduate School of Architecture and Planning of Columbia University. It will appeal not only to architects and historians but to general readers interested in touring or in duplicating examples of New Mexico's rich architectural heritage.--Cover

Download or read book Hidden History of Spanish New Mexico written by Ray John de Aragón and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Mexico's Spanish legacy has informed the cultural traditions of one of the last states to join the union for more than four hundred years, or before the alluring capital of Santa Fe was founded in 1610. The fame the region gained from artist Georgia O'Keefe, writers Lew Wallace and D.H. Lawrence and pistolero Billy the Kid has made New Mexico an international tourist destination. But the Spanish annals also have enriched the Land of Enchantment with the factual stories of a superhero knight, the greatest queen in history, a saintly gent whose coffin periodically rises from the depths of the earth and a mysterious ancient map. Join author Ray John de Aragón as he reveals hidden treasure full of suspense and intrigue.

Book excerpt: What do houses tell us about the people who built or remodeled them? Adobe carefully painted to make it look like brick says as much about Anglo culture and presence in New Mexico from 1850 to 1912 as does any political history of those years. This study of domestic architecture, though, is more than a regional one; it addresses issues basic to an understanding of how one culture transports its social mores, cultural values, and material goods to a frontier where they can take hold.
