Architects of the Southwest: Building in the Desert includes residential projects and landscape design works built in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. All the projects highlight the Southwest as an unparalleled region with a rich variety of landscapes - rolling hills, mountains, canyons, mesas, deserts, and volcanoes. These conditions offer unique design challenges and opportunities to create works that adapt to the natural environment - no matter how harsh it is - rather than conquer it while addressing sustainability. AUTHOR: Francesc Zamora Mola studied interior design and architecture in Barcelona and then with innovative architecture firms in San Francisco. He is the author of numerous architecture books. 350 colour illustrations
