Description

Albuquerque’s response to Modernism―the architectural avant-garde of the first half of the twentieth century, of which the Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 1930s is the most important component―used to be complex and varied. The growing city looked to the brand new in addition to the mythic past characterized by the Santa Fe style. The result used to be rarely restricted to at least one cultural tradition. Influences include forms and motifs from numerous intermixed cultural and social collisions. The result can also be sophisticated, as with the Albuquerque Indian Hospital, or homespun, like the Shaffer Hotel in Mountainair. This book celebrates the cultural mixing of quite a lot of Native American, Hispanic, and 19th- and 20th-century Anglo American forms and motifs unique to Albuquerque throughout the first half of the twentieth century.
