Summary:

"The Hacienda in Mexico is the first detailed architectural study of rural communities. In this illustrated book, Daniel Nierman and Ernesto Vallejo present color and black-and-white photographs, site plans, building plans, and elevations to document all aspects of the hacienda - the compound, big house, chapel, spaces for production, materials and construction methods, and architectural details.
In the accompanying text, they discuss each of these elements, as well as the hacienda's historical development and the ways in which its productive activities shaped its architecture."--Jacket.
