Description
Building in the Desert showcases residential projects and landscape design works built in the American Southwest: Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah.
All the projects highlight this 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 always addressing sustainability.
