Southwest Housing Traditions: Design Materials Performance
This book is about design and construction, materials and culture, human habitation and intentions. It considers the lessons which traditional architecture holds for today's designers and builders. Traditional houses are of a time when people built for themselves, following shared ideas of what a house should be. These houses reflect the building practices of their geographic region, and the design ideas of the culture which produced them. This book is intended as a guide for the non-profit developer and its design team in applying the relevant lessons of traditional architecture to the design of new affordable housing. It should make more widely known the principles of energy efficiency, durability and low life-cycle costs, as well as cultural appropriateness, found in the traditional housing of the southwestern borderlands. It is offered in hopes that it will prove useful to others in the development, design and construction of affordable housing in the Southwest.
