Architects of the Southwest: Grounded in the Mountains and the Desert
includes a stunning showcase of residential architecture and landscape
design from Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. All
of the projects selected highlight the Southwest as an unparalleled
region with a rich variety of landscapes--rolling hills, mountains,
canyons, mesas, deserts, and volcanoes. Add to these potential extremes
of heat, cold and drought, and one is faced with unique design
challenges along with the opportunity to create works that adapt to the
natural environment, rather than conquer it, all the while addressing
sustainability.
