It traces three distinct design traditions -- the Native American center place with kiva and terraced residential blocks, the Hispanic plaza with church and courtyard houses, and the Anglo square with courthouse and business blocks. This landmark volume has resulted from a multi-year research project involving 50 students, a half dozen faculty members, and outside experts working through the Historic Preservation and Regionalism program at the University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning. New Mexico's plazas, like urban spaces everywhere, are gaining renewed attention in this time when the challenges of sustainability have sparked the Smart Growth movement, urban revitalization and intensified historic preservation. Detailing the success of restoration projects, this book shows how to encourage heritage tourism in the service of, rather than at the expense of, local quality of life and community sustainability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Wilson,Stefanos Polyzoides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trinity University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.35h x 11.34w x 1.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595340832","brand":"Trinity University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45155955998857,"sku":"9781595340832","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d478982a-c9ab-4081-8f79-53eb4a3f1d97.jpg?v=1768293217","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-plazas-of-new-mexico-9781595340832","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
