Anasazi Architecture and American Design
Anasazi Architecture and American Design is a journey
through Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde with leading southwestern
archaeologists, historians, architects, landscape architects,
artists, and urban planners as guides. In sixteen chapters, the
volume's twenty-two essayists identify Anasazi building and
cultural features related to design and site planning,
cosmography, mythology, and ecology, then expertly balance their
observations of past architectural and cultural achievements with
suggestions and recommendations for design practices in the
present.
