Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many people, Native American architecture calls to mind the wigwam, tipi, iglu, and pueblo. Yet the richly diverse building traditions of Native Americans encompass much more, including specific structures for sleeping, working, worshipping, meditating, playing, dancing, lounging, giving birth, decision-making, cleansing, storing and preparing food, caring for animals, and honoring the dead. In effect, the architecture covers all facets of Indian life. The collaboration between an architect and an anthropologist, Native American Architecture presents the first book-length, fully illustrated exploration of North American Indian architecture to appear in over a century. Peter Nabokov and Robert Easton together examine the building traditions of the major tribes in nine regional areas of the continent from the huge plank-house villages of the Northwest Coast to the moundbuilder towns and temples of the Southeast, to the Navajo hogans and adobe pueblos of the Southwest. Going beyond a traditional survey of buildings, the book offers a broad, clear view into the Native American world, revealing a new perspective on the interaction between their buildings and culture. Looking at Native American architecture as more than buildings, villages, and camps, Nabokov and Easton also focus on their use of space, their environment, their social mores, and their religious beliefs. Each chapter concludes with an account of traditional Indian building practices undergoing a revival or in danger today. The volume also includes a wealth of historical photographs and drawings (including sixteen pages of color illustrations), architectural renderings, and specially prepared interpretive diagrams which decode the sacred cosmology of the principal house types.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'A Study of Pueblo Architecture: Tusayan and Cibola', the Mindeleff brothers delve into the architectural practices of the Pueblo peoples, presenting a comprehensive examination that spans the intricate designs and cultural significance of these indigenous structures. This anthology combines detailed architectural analysis with anthropological insight, showcasing the diversity of Puebloan life and the sophisticated nature of their communal dwellings. Standing as a seminal work in the field of Native American studies, the collection is notable for its meticulous illustrations and descriptions of Puebloan architectural techniques, revealing the advanced understanding of space, functionality, and environment inherent in these ancient communities. Cosmos and Victor Mindeleff, working at the turn of the 20th century, were pioneers in the documentation of Native American architecture. Their efforts align with a broader movement in American anthropology to preserve and understand indigenous cultures. Together, they contribute significantly to our comprehension of Pueblo people, situating their work within a crucial period of American anthropology when the discipline was striving to position itself within both scientific and humanistic studies. Through their detailed observations and drawings, the Mindeleffs provide a window into the Pueblo world, offering invaluable insights into the social, cultural, and environmental aspects that influenced Pueblo architecture. This collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the convergence of architecture, anthropology, and American indigenous studies. 'A Study of Pueblo Architecture: Tusayan and Cibola' invites readers to explore the complexities of Puebloan structures and the societies that created them, highlighting the architectural achievements of indigenous peoples long before European contact. Through its scholarly approach and the unique perspectives of its authors, the anthology enriches our understanding and appreciation of Pueblo architecture, making it a pivotal text for students, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few architectural styles evoke so strong a sense of place as Pueblo architecture. This book brings together experts from architecture and art, archaeology and anthropology, philosophy and history, considering Pueblo style not simply architecturally, but within its cultural, religious, economic, and climate contexts as well. The product of successive layers of Pueblo Indian, Spanish, and Anglo influences, contemporary Pueblo style is above all seen as a harmonious response to the magnificent landscape from which it emerged. Pueblo Style and Regional Architecture, first published in 1990, is a unique and thorough study of this enduring regional style, a sourcebook that will inform and inspire architects and designers, as well as fascinate those interested in the anthropology, culture, art, and history of the American Southwest.

Download or read book A Strange Mixture written by Sascha T. Scott and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-01-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attracted to the rich ceremonial life and unique architecture of the New Mexico pueblos, many early-twentieth-century artists depicted Pueblo peoples, places, and culture in paintings. These artists’ encounters with Pueblo Indians fostered their awareness of Native political struggles and led them to join with Pueblo communities to champion Indian rights. In this book, art historian Sascha T. Scott examines the ways in which non-Pueblo and Pueblo artists advocated for American Indian cultures by confronting some of the cultural, legal, and political issues of the day. Scott closely examines the work of five diverse artists, exploring how their art was shaped by and helped to shape Indian politics. She places the art within the context of the interwar period, 1915–30, a time when federal Indian policy shifted away from forced assimilation and toward preservation of Native cultures. Through careful analysis of paintings by Ernest L. Blumenschein, John Sloan, Marsden Hartley, and Awa Tsireh (Alfonso Roybal), Scott shows how their depictions of thriving Pueblo life and rituals promoted cultural preservation and challenged the pervasive romanticizing theme of the “vanishing Indian.” Georgia O’Keeffe’s images of Pueblo dances, which connect abstraction with lived experience, testify to the legacy of these political and aesthetic transformations. Scott makes use of anthropology, history, and indigenous studies in her art historical narrative. She is one of the first scholars to address varied responses to issues of cultural preservation by aesthetically and culturally diverse artists, including Pueblo painters. Beautifully designed, this book features nearly sixty artworks reproduced in full color.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pueblo StyleNew Mexico historic adobe architecture evolved from early Native American dwellings that impressed the Spanish when they first arrived in the region in the 16th century. They found Pueblo Indians in the Rio Grande Valley living in communal houses with hundreds of rooms, often four or five stories high, accommodating thousands of people. The Spanish, who called these communities "pueblos" (the Spanish term for villages), saw how the Pueblo people built their shelters as a series of rooms surrounding a central plaza, with earth floors and flat roofs held up by pine logs, or vigas. These beams were covered diagonally or at right angles with small poles, or latillas. The Pueblo Indians built their homes using wood, stone and puddled adobe, a laborious method of molding adobe walls by hand then laying them in low bands to dry before adding the next layer. As the Spanish settlers established communities in the region, they sought to improve the Pueblo construction methods using adobe. After all, the essential materials-mud, earth and straw-were plentiful and readily available. But to streamline the construction process, they designed wood molds to shape uniform adobe bricks.This melding of Native American with Spanish architectural influences gave rise to the Pueblo style, also known as Spanish Pueblo. In the Spanish homes, the style's characteristic elements include round walls, corner fireplaces, vigas, flat roofs and a series of rooms fronted by covered porches, called portales, that enclosed an exterior patio, echoing the Pueblo rooms designed around a central plaza. The Spanish often built their houses with one or two rooms then expanded them later on with additions to accommodate growing families. They installed few doors or windows in order to retain heat during the winter and maintain cool temperatures during the summer.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the first in a series of Occasional Papers of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Cortez, Colorado, eleven archaeologists explore new ways of looking at the social functions of prehistoric Pueblo architecture at scales of integration ranging from the household to the region. The contributors provide theoretical, historical, and cross-cultural perspectives on Pueblo architecture and social organization, and they examine the time-honored assumption that prehistoric and historic Pueblo kivas were functionally equivalent. They also consider the development of plazas and other public structures in relation to changing community organization and evidence that kivas and related structures were loci for material and information exchange.
