Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the captivating world of mission architecture, a unique style that emerged from the confluence of Spanish, Mexican, and indigenous influences in the American Southwest. The author takes the reader on a journey through the historical development of the mission style, tracing its roots back to the Romanesque and Byzantine periods in Europe and highlighting the impact of Moorish influences that were brought to Spain and later to Mexico. The book then explores the unique conditions of the Southwest that shaped the mission style, including the availability of materials, the challenges posed by the climate and the relationship between the missionaries and the indigenous peoples. The author then focuses on the mission of San Xavier del Bac in Arizona, considered by many to be the finest example of mission architecture. Through detailed descriptions and historical analysis, the book illuminates the design, construction and symbolism of San Xavier del Bac, providing insights into the lives and beliefs of the missionaries and the indigenous peoples they sought to convert. The reader will gain a rich understanding of the artistic and cultural significance of this remarkable building, a powerful symbol of faith and resilience in the harsh landscape of the Southwest.
