About this title

From the Publisher:

William Lumpkins is one of the most influential architects in the Southwest - pioneers the adobe passive-solar movement of the 1970s and 1980s and creating modern architecture adapted from historic forms, including this series of residential designs pattered after Pueblo-style architectural design.

Pueblo architecture is a popular regional idiom that is at the heart of "Santa Fe style," although this model was really an amalgam of many styles and influences - Pueblo, Spanish Colonial, Anglo, art deco.

Lumpkins distills the pure architectural elements of Pueblo architecture in these forty-seven projects comprising ninety-four drawings of modern adobe homes each containing Pueblo source material, floor plans and elevations, and rich details and cross-section views. The plans were never executed but now remain magnificent examples of native architecture for a modern age.

Architects, historic preservationists, and anyone considering building an adobe home will want to own this book.

William Lumpkins is the author of La Casa Adobe, continuously in print since 1961, Modern Spanish Pueblo Homes, and Casa del Sol: Your Guide to Passive Solar Design. Joseph Traugott is curator of collection at the New Mexico Museum of Fine Arts.
