{"product_id":"space-and-place-in-the-fernando-nzzez-9781585445837","title":"Space and Place in the Mexican Landscape: The Evolution of a Colonial City","description":"Metaphysical conceptions have always influenced how human societies create the built environment. Mexico--with its rich culture, full of symbol and myth, its beautiful cities, and its evocative ruins--is an excellent place to study the interplay of influences on space and place. In this volume, the authors consider the ideas and views that give the constructed spaces and buildings of Mexico--especially, of Querétaro--their particular ambience. They explore the ways the built world helps people find meaning and establish order for their earthly existence by mirroring their metaphysical assumptions, and they guide readers through time to see how the transformation of worldviews affects the urban evolution of a Mexican city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The authors, then, construct a \"metaphysical archeology\" of space and place in the built landscape of Mexico. In the process, they identify the intangible, spiritual aspects of this land. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Not only scholars of architecture, but also archeologists and anthropologists--particularly those interested in Mexican backgrounds and culture--will appreciate the authors' approach and conclusions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando Núñez,Carlos Arvizu,Ramón Abonce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1585445835\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585445837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.33w x 0.75d","brand":"Fernando Núñez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447927746815,"sku":"9781585445837","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e963e42e-9611-48f5-ba3a-587d34969395.jpg?v=1777235761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-and-place-in-the-fernando-nzzez-9781585445837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
