A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Bertram Goodhue, Walter Douglas and Tyrone, New Mexico
Bertram Goodhue is well known for his important public and ecclesiastical buildings, but his project for the company town in Tyrone, New Mexico, abandoned shortly after construction and eventually swallowed up by mine pits, is surely one of the most intriguing. Reactionary politics and public relations led Walter Douglas of Phelps-Dodge to hire Goodhue to design a company town for miners in New Mexico, and politics and declining copper prices led him to abandon it only five years later, despite the merits of the architecture and planning.
