Download or read book Haciendas written by Linda Leigh Paul and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2008 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haciendas features traditional and modern hacienda architecture in Mexico and southwestern United States. Sumptuous photography portrays the increasing fascination with hacienda architecture today, as evidenced by the movement to renovate classic adobe homes, the abundance of new hacienda designs, and the inspiration Spanish colonial architecture provides to homeowners, designers, and architects worldwide. The estate hacienda was traditionally the family home for Spanish nobles in the newly settled Mexican territories and included farmed land, orchards, stables, livestock, and servants. These extraordinary homes, many of which are owned by descendants of the original owners, are being meticulously preserved, or carefully transformed, into popular inns and tourist attractions. Today, the style is influencing residences throughout North America.With more than 250 photographs, Linda Leigh Paul presents the best haciendas, representing past and present designs: From large country estates to small adobe hideaways, the rugged beauty, rich color palette, and natural materials of the hacienda are brought to life in a book that is as delightful as a walk through the adobe arches and cool, tiled rooms of a Spanish colonial casa.

Download or read book Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico written by Juan Luis Burke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture and Urbanism in Viceregal Mexico presents a fascinating survey of urban history between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. It chronicles the creation and development of Puebla de los Ángeles, a city located in central-south Mexico, during its viceregal period. Founded in 1531, the city was established as a Spanish settlement surrounded by important Indigenous towns. This situation prompted a colonial city that developed along Spanish colonial guidelines but became influenced by the native communities that settled in it, creating one of the most architecturally rich cities in colonial Spanish America, from the Renaissance to the Baroque periods. This book covers the city's historical background, investigating its civic and religious institutions as represented in selected architectural landmarks. Throughout the narrative, Burke weaves together sociological, anthropological, and historical analysis to discuss the city’s architectural and urban development. Written for academics, students, and researchers interested in architectural history, Latin American studies, and the Spanish American viceregal period, it will make an important contribution to the field.
Download or read book Modern Architecture in Mexico City written by Kathryn E. O'Rourke and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico City became one of the centers of architectural modernism in the Americas in the first half of the twentieth century. Invigorated by insights drawn from the first published histories of Mexican colonial architecture, which suggested that Mexico possessed a distinctive architecture and culture, beginning in the 1920s a new generation of architects created profoundly visual modern buildings intended to convey Mexico's unique cultural character. By midcentury these architects and their students had rewritten the country's architectural history and transformed the capital into a metropolis where new buildings that evoked pre-conquest, colonial, and International Style architecture coexisted. Through an exploration of schools, a university campus, a government ministry, a workers' park, and houses for Diego Rivera and Luis Barragan, Kathryn O'Rourke offers a new interpretation of modern architecture in the Mexican capital, showing close links between design, evolving understandings of national architectural history, folk art, and social reform. This book demonstrates why creating a distinctively Mexican architecture captivated architects whose work was formally dissimilar, and how that concern became central to the profession.

Excerpt: ...of the lower belfry-openings for placing the clock. The dome is decorated with a rich design of glazed tiles in yellow and white on a ground of dusky red, and the crown of the lantern is treated in similar fashion. The main structure has a picturesque coloring. The cut stone is of the usual light buff of the locality, the diapered surfaces of the stuccoed tower-bases are buff with a tinge of red here and there, and the roof and sides are of a dingy brick-like red. The outer corner of the atrium wall is marked by a quaint monument to the slaughtered Spaniards, with a singular low-relief illustrative of a celebrated Aztec legend. Up to the year 1812 it was customary to celebrate the day of San Hip61ito with an elaborate function at this church, the high officials of both Church and State taking part. It was called "el paseo del pend6n" (the passage of the standard), and its great feature was the paying of homage to the identical crimson banner--now in the National Museum--borne by the Conquerors. But since the independence of Mexico it has not been pleasing to public sentiment to celebrate the achievements of the Conquerors. The interior of the church has recently been elaborately decorated in modern fashion, hardly consistent with the character of the edifice. The large church seen in the distance on the left, in the plate, is that of San Fernando. The adjacent monastery of San Fernando was the seat of the Franciscan missionary order of that name. It was hence that the famous Father Junipero departed for the great work that resulted in the conversion of the Mission Indians of California. //. SAN HIPOLITO DE LOS MARTIRES. The church of San Hip6lito de los Martires--of the Martyrs--has exceptional historic interest as marking the...
