Casa Adobe
by Karen Witynski & Joe Carr
$40 (192 page hardcover)

Many people find the lines and textures of an adobe building at once seductive and compelling.  This book is all about the unique aesthetic of houses made of mud. Third in a series of four books on popular residential design in Mexico and the Southwest, this book contains photos of spectacular adobe homes, inside and out, in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and various places in Mexico.  The book documents the evolution of adobe from its historic past to its most modern applications, including interior details and architectural elements.  The authors chose well the buildings they use as examples for their premise that "adobe is an old tradition with a new future," the recurring theme of the book.
