"Canyon Gardens" is the long-awaited sequel to "Anasazi
Architecture and American Design" (UNM Press). It takes a new look
at ancient and modern Puebloan gardening and landscape design
approaches.
Part One examines early Puebloan landscapes in detail, including
compact gardens and terraces, site planning, the integration of
farming and landscape design into settlement complexes, and the
unit-courtyard complexes of the Mesa Verde country. It also covers
the first meeting of the Ancient Puebloan tradition with Spanish
traditions in seventeenth-century New Mexico and the Puebloan uses
of plants. New field research is included--recent findings about
the Zuni area, the upper Rio Grande country, and the Tompiro and
Tiwa canyons and valleys in the Manzano Range.
Part Two looks at the Ancient Puebloan culture's influence
today. Chapters here examine the uses of the historic landscape in
today's agriculture and horticulture and the impact of governmental
regulations on traditional habits of gardening and land use and
perception.
Modern architects, site planners, and landscape architects will
find these new-found qualities of the Southwestern landscape
fascinating and inspirational.
