FACING SOUTHWEST: The Life and Houses of John Gaw Meem (W.W. Norton) is an applauded new book by University of New Mexico professor, Chris Wilson. The book examines the life and work of John Gaw Meem, the architect whose name has become synonymous with Santa Fe style. It is also a powerful resource, a treasure trove for architects, history buffs, and anyone who appreciates great architecture. The 178-page book contains the original house plans for 18 Meem residences and closely details a vocabulary of design patterns. The McCormick and Conley residences, Los Poblanos Ranch, and Meem's own Santa Fe home are featured houses. Facing Southwest also includes an unforgettable array of color images by renowned photographer Robert Reck and some never before published black-and-white photos by Ansel Adams and Laura Gilpin.
Signed copies of Facing Southwest are available through the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art for $60.
