At the top of my stack of coffee table books.
Marie-Pierre Colle has taken the work of Alexander Liberman (The Artist in His Studio) and advanced the shutter to give us another view into artists' studios.

Houses of Puebla: The Cradle of Mexican Architecture
Marie-Pierre Colle

Puebla, perhaps the most enchanting colonial city of Mexico, was proclaimed a "heritage of humankind" by UNESCO in 1988, in view of its historical importance and architectural splendor. Puebla's houses have a rich past, blending pre-Hispanic and historical roots with early Mujedar and later 19th-century French influence into a highly distinctive style. This book brings the reader into the typical houses of Mexico's Mixteca region--into ...
