1950 The Architecture Of The Southwest T. Sanford Antique Reference Book

The Architecture of the South West - Indian, Spanish and American
By Trent Sanford
Published by W.W.Norton: New York 1950

" Trent Sanford's The Architecture of the South West offers a richly contextualised survey of the region's distinctive built heritage, tracing the layered influences of Indigenous, Spanish colonial, and later American traditions across the arid landscapes of the Southwest United States. Drawing on both architectural analysis and cultural history, Sanford explores the evolution of Pueblo, Navajo and other Native American building forms, the arrival of Spanish mission and military architecture, and the eventual blending of these styles with modern American design. The work is generously illustrated with photographs, plans and drawings that bring the region's adobe structures, mission churches, haciendas and emerging 20th-century interpretations vividly to life.

Sanford's commentary emphasises how climate, materials and cultural exchange shaped a uniquely cohesive regional identity, showing how traditional techniques such as adobe construction, vigas, courtyards and earth-based finishes endured through successive periods. The book captures the Southwest at a moment when interest in regionalism and preservation was gaining momentum, making it both historically informative and visually compelling. A valuable volume for collectors of architectural history, admirers of Southwestern and mission revival styles, and anyone interested in the architectural synthesis of Indigenous and colonial influences."
