Comprehensive review of Mexican style primitive-contemporary

This book is beautifully photographed, and offers a comprehensive look at Mexican interiors, architecture, and style. The chapters are laid out in chronological order, beginning with primitive architecture and continuing through to modern/contemporary design. Commentary throughout gives historical and social perspectives on the timeline of Mexican design.

Mexican HOuses

This is the best book I've seen on Mexican houses..comprehensive and are they beautifully photographed! and all kinds of examples, from the very oldest colonial, Porfirian, to modern. I
am so glad I got a copy, and too, that I found out about the book, as I wasnt aware of it when it was published some twenty years ago.

It is a great book!!

I am a Mexican woman studying in the USA. I read a commentary above saying that these are European houses, they are not. We were conquered by the Spaniards centuries ago and thus the architectural style blended creating a "Mexican Style". This so called Mexican style includes european traces with Indian influences. This book represents Mexican houses that complies with this style. Obviously you can find native houses following Indian design, but for sure not in any Mexican metropoli.

Mixing the heritage of the Toltecs and Mayas with that of French and Spanish invaders, this display brings us the variety and beauty of Mexican houses--inside and out. More than 250 full-color photographs.
