SANTA FE MODERN - HELEN THOMPSON GEBUNDEN

First survey of modernist and contemporary architecture and interiors in the richly layered
architectural history of Santa Fe Santa Fe Modern reveals the high desert landscape as an ideal
setting for bold  abstracted forms of modernist houses. Wide swaths of glass  deep-set portals
long porches  and courtyards allow vistas  color  and light to become integral parts of the
very being of a house  emboldening a way to experience a personal connection to the desert
landscape. The architects featured draw from the New Mexican architectural heritage - they use
ancient materials such as adobe in combination with steel and glass  and they apply this
language to the proportions and demands exacted by today's world. The houses they have designed
are confident examples of architecture that is particular to the New Mexico landscape and
climate  and yet simultaneously evoke the rigorous expressions of modernism. The vigor and the
allure of modern art and architecture hearten each other in a way that is visible and exciting
and this book demonstrates the synergistic relationship between art  architecture  and the
land.
