Description

"The new School of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico is driven by the necessity of making a building that inspires and teaches students about the potential of architecture. This notion is intersected with the desire to allow the building to be shaped by specific environmental, urban and campus forces. Additionally, the timeless relationships between building and environment from the cliffs of Canyon de Chelly to the mute, powerful walls of Anasazi architecture, conceptually and materially inform our project. The building optimizes envelope while still incorporating these forces." --http://www.predock.com/unm2.html
