Size: 8x0x11; Some edgewear and chipping to dustjacket. Houses of Mexico

Size: 8x0x11; Some edgewear and chipping to dustjacket. Houses of Mexico delves into the roots of the bold yet elegant Mexican style, illustrated with many photographs from Spain and Portugal reflecting the Moorish influence. In addition to extensive coverage of the architecture of the houses, the book shows other spatial and decorative elements, including iron gates and grilles that give an atmosphere of seclusion; stairways that seem to grow out of the walls without any support; and old paintings, combs, ceramics, and character figures used in festivals, as well as ancient pre-Columbian figurines. One of the most successful architects of her generation and America's first successful female architect, Verna Cook Salomonsky Shipway (1890-1978) had two distinct careers: as a registered architect who specialized in historicist domestic architecture in the New York City suburbs, and as a noted author of five books on Mexican domestic architecture.
