Located within La Tienda at Eldorado Eldorado is home to hundreds of artists, musicians, writers, and performers — La Tienda at Eldorado is where they meet. La Tienda is a fitting location for Destiny Allison Fine Art as it passionately supports the arts and celebrates community. There is no other place anywhere near Santa Fe like La Tienda at Eldorado. It’s not about image. It’s about amazing people doing amazing things. www.LaTiendaEldorado.com

WHO IS DESTINY ALLISON? Destiny Allison is one of Santa Fe’s more accomplished metal artists. Her elegant award-winning steel works have been placed in public and private environs throughout the country. Her newest works, paintings on steel, are evidence of this artist’s continuing evolution. Lyric, complex and quiet, these paintings have a mesmeric quality and tend to draw you, the viewer, into your own interior landscape, a territory that stretches endlessly.

Destiny Allison Fine Art, a reposed, airy place, allows these paintings to breathe and expand, apt words for their very nature and purpose. Its high ceilings, white walls and spacious environment provide the ideal setting for the work. The gallery also houses a selection of Destiny’s sculpture. In addition to showcasing Allison’s work, the gallery hosts monthly art talks, salon style discussions and quarterly guest artists.

Winterowd Fine Art represents Allison’s sculptural work. With its historic location and softly lit interior, Winterowd Fine Art provides an ideal grounding for Allison’s signature sculptures, which are visually poetic responses to the

creation. Winterowd Fine Art is located at 701 Canyon Road in Santa Fe. Tel. (505) 992-8878 www.fineartsantafe.com The two directions in Allison’s work are desirous and beneficial for the artist as well as the art lover. With that in mind, the two Santa Fe galleries are operating in sync to offer collectors a widened, more enhanced view of this artist’s capabilities and use of visual language.

How Design Can Change The World

BY NANCY ZIMMERMAN

e all know that change is a constant in our turbulent world.

But those signature moments of sweeping social change, those shifts of the collective consciousness toward embracing new ways of living and viewing our lives, remain exciting but rare.

Traditionally, those who talk about “changing the world” have been seen as idealistic dreamers, radical activists, or political bomb

throwers. These days, though, visions of transformation are less likely to come from aging hippies and diehard revolutionaries than from the field of architecture and design, where the changes being advocated are nothing short of revolutionary.

Among the leaders of that revolution is William McDonough, a Charlottesville, Virginia–based architect, designer, and cocreator (with German chemist Dr. Michael Braungart) of the Cradle to Cradle® (C2C) design philosophy. The C2C approach to

the built environment operates on the premise that many of the environmental problems we face are essentially design challenges. Its main goals are to eliminate the concept of waste, use renewable energy, and celebrate diversity.

“Rather than seeking to minimize the harm we inflict,” explains McDonough, “C2C reframes design as a beneficial, regenerative force. We can expand our definition of design quality to include positive effects on economic, ecological, and social

health in addition to the traditional architectural standards of beauty and functionality. Growth doesn’t have to be detrimental to environmental health. In nature, growth is a good thing.”

The concept of waste, conversely, is a uniquely human idea; in nature there is no such thing. McDonough points out that it’s entirely possible to revamp our way of living to be as efficient and creative as the rest of nature in our production and use of materials.

McDonough notes that while there appears to be a gap between economic activities like manufacturing and the concept of environmentalism, in fact that kind of compartmentalization merely represents a flaw in our approach.

“Like so many gaps in the world that we live in today, there is a false separation in these realms. What C2C can offer us is a fundamental shift in thinking,” he says.

“In this new framework, it would be clear that environmentalism, like so many ‘isms,’ is rather useless in and of itself, because it seeks to put some elements of life on earth ahead of others. The dichotomy is one that posits manufacturing as something inherently against the desires of environmentalists. But C2C thinking would remake the making of things so that it would be unassailable from an environmental perspective.”

Some manufacturers are already on board with this way of thinking, and have achieved notable successes with the C2C approach. Susan Lyons of New York City, one of the three panelists addressing these issues at Design Santa Fe’s Design Dialogue and Luncheon in September, is an award-winning textile designer who is working to align the principles of C2C with the production of furniture. Lyons works with Herman Miller Inc., an environmentally conscious furniture manufacturer

The two-wing form of the energy-efficient Ferrer Research & Development Center in Barcelona’s Biopol Health Science Park was inspired by a butterfly. It features a 15-story atrium that serves as a ventilation system and houses a chrysalis hatchery where children come to release the butterflies. “It’s a celebration of our abundance, not our limits,” says architect William McDonough.

trendmagazineglobal.com Fall 2011/Winter 2012 » Trend 103

At Herman Miller, it’s not just the furniture they produce that’s sustainable, but their building as well. Designed by William McDonough + Partners, the 295,000-squarefoot facility, nicknamed the GreenHouse, was built in 1995 as a pilot project for the development of the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification process. The award-winning building, considered a case study in how a sustainable building approach can enhance the physical and mental health of its occupants and boost productivity and profits, features an abundance of natural light, fresh air, and views of nature, along with a stunningly beautiful profile.

In the area of fabrics, Lyons has noted a return to natural fibers after many years of embracing synthetics, and in April 2011 the National Science Foundation approved a textile sustainability standard that will rate in Holland, Michigan, to supply the company with textiles and designs sourced from sustainable products made via ecologically sound production methods using innovative materials that can be repurposed at the end of the product’s life.

“In furniture and production generally, it’s important to recognize the power of the supply chain,” she points out. “It used to be that the supply chain and environmentalism were disconnected, but now there’s a better understanding of how supplychain decisions—issues like resource extraction, and what the product becomes after its useful life is finished—can contribute to creating a more sustainable world. The tricky piece is that the infrastructure to reuse products doesn’t yet exist, but I’m confident we’ll get to the place where recycling streams will happen.

There doesn’t need to be a disconnect between business and our environment.”

fabrics in much the same way as LEED certification does buildings. “There are no game-changing fiber stories yet, as fabrics are not commercialized on an industrial scale,” Lyons says. “But it will come, as a lot of work is being done on dyestuffs and textile finishes. The industry is in a constant state of optimization.”

Susan Szenasy, editor-in-chief of Metropolis magazine and moderator of Design Santa Fe’s Dialogue, agrees that the design industry has matured to the point that it now occupies a leadership role in promoting positive change.

“One of the most dramatic changes we’ve seen is the acceptance of the LEED metrics,” she notes. “As a result of measuring building performance, for the first time

The concept of waste is a uniquely human idea; in nature there is no such thing. in a long time those who design and build our environment are asking questions about land use, water use, where materials come from, and their various toxicities, among other complex questions.

“Design for disassembly is often thought of now when manufacturing a product,” she adds. “This means that the parts are fewer, and that the product can be taken apart quickly and easily and recycled, with its components and materials put back into the

post-industrial materials stream. Carpet manufacturers, for example, are using more recycled fibers, more PVC-free backings, and there’s a growing tendency to reclaim used carpet before it goes into the landfill.”

The importance of looking to architecture and design for solutions to the problems of climate change is underscored by the research of Santa Fe–based architect and visionary Edward Mazria. A longtime proponent of alternative energy who literally wrote the book on passive solar building (The Passive Solar Energy Book: A Complete Guide to Passive Solar Home, Greenhouse and Building Design, 1979), Mazria began studying the problem of CO2 emissions in 2002, and what he discovered was a surprise even to him. > trendmagazineglobal.com Fall 2011/Winter 2012 » Trend 105

“Everyone was worrying about the carbon footprint of SUVs at that time,” he says, “but I discovered that the real culprit was our buildings. Buildings use more energy than any other sector—almost half of all energy consumed, with 77 percent of all the electricity produced in the U.S. going just to operate them. In 2009 the building sector was responsible for nearly half of CO2 emissions, while transportation accounted for just a third.”

It was this discovery that led Mazria to abandon his successful architecture practice to form a nonprofit group, Architecture 2030, with the goal of reducing and eventually eliminating greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector. “Buildings are the problem, and buildings are the solution,” he says. In 2006 he issued the 2030 Challenge, which calls for all new buildings and major renovation projects to reduce their fossil-fuel energy consumption by 60 percent in 2010, moving toward carbon neutrality by the year 2030.

The response to the Challenge has been dramatic: In January 2006 it was adopted immediately by the 80,000-member American Institute of Architects (AIA); that May a resolution was passed at the U.S. Confer106 Trend » Fall 2011/Winter 2012 trendmagazineglobal.com

—Edward Mazria ence of Mayors calling for adoption of the 2030 Challenge by all cities. Among the many professional organizations that have signed on are the U.S. Green Building Council, American Society of Interior Designers, and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. More than 160 architecture firms are now designing to the 2030 benchmarks, and the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act includes a section requiring all federal buildings to meet the energy performance standards of the Challenge from 2010.

A companion initiative unveiled earlier this year, the 2030 Challenge for Products, challenges the architecture, planning, design, and building communities to design and manufacture products to meet a maximum carbon-equivalent footprint of 30 percent below the product category average through 2014, increasing to a 50 percent reduction by 2030. Yet another project, to be unveiled next

year, is the 2030 Palette, a multilingual online resource that will allow architects and designers to create an individual “palette” of information on green building specs and procedures tailored to their region, neighborhood, and site, taking into consideration such factors as climate and culture.

“We can do this,” insists Mazria. “The U.S. is the biggest creator of greenhouse gas emissions, so we need to be the leaders in reducing them.”

Another influential proponent of social change through green building is renowned architect and author Jason McLennan of Bainbridge Island, Washington. McLennan is the CEO of the Cascadia Green Building Council and founder of the International Living Future Institute, as well as the Pharos Project, a network of building professionals and manufacturers committed to transparency as a core value on the path to sustainability. He devised a program he calls the Living Building Challenge, an advocacy platform and certification program that goes beyond LEED standards as the next step in sustainable building, based on seven performance criteria: site, water, energy, health, materials, equity, and beauty.

The inclusion of beauty in those criteria is

no afterthought, says McLennan. “I believe that the science of sustainability and beauty are related. We’ve unfortunately created an illiterate society around our built environment: Things like square footage, size, and features are played up, but the public doesn’t expect beauty. We tend to get caught up in the idea that only what we can measure is important, but that gets us into trouble.

Beauty, social justice, and well-being are tough to measure, but we leave them out of the building equation at our peril.”

This kind of creative brainstorming has resulted in the construction of a series of mobile medical clinics, community centers, schools, and football fields throughout Africa that address issues like public health, economic selfsufficiency, and community cohesion.

ECLECTIC HARMONY Lisa Samuel’s Design Tells the Tales of a Globetrotting Couple PHOTOS BY DA NIEL NA DELBACH STYLING BY GILDA M EY ER-NIEHOF An evolving four-year collaboration with interior designer Lisa Samuel, this lovely compound of guest suites reflects the homeowners’ eclectic taste and collections from travels around the world.

Samuel, who owns Samuel Design Group, is a licensed interior designer with nearly 25 years of experience and a lifelong passion for architecture and design. She has helped the Whitehursts edit their art and furnishings and introduced custom-designed pieces to fit their 30-year-old home near the governor’s mansion in Santa Fe, which they bought about six years ago.

114 Trend » Fall 2011/Winter 2012 trendmagazineglobal.com

The den, left, showcases pieces from the Whitehursts’ two African safaris. “They have a zest for life and art,” says Samuel, “and color holds a special place in their hearts.” Among the textiles in this room are the Moroccan leather pillow on the sofa, and a rug that Samuel found that harmonized perfectly with the theme, which was set by the pre-existing painting around the arches. The Southwest-style painting on the wall is a recent acquisition; Samuel has paired it with a large stone table with chunky wood top. The mirror seen in the distance through the three arches is in the living room, well lit by windows and doors that lead to a balcony over the portico.

The master bedroom features a bed made of logs, with a European spread hand-sewn in crewel embroidery. The walls are diamond-finish plaster; the coved ceiling is unusual for its square ceiling beams rather than the typical rounded vigas. Not visible is a reclaimed barn wood bench that was also designed by Samuel and custom-made to fit a splayed nook.

The second-floor breakfast room is dominated by a mesmerizing European-style painting by an Arizona artist. On the shelf at left are candleholders made of antlers by Mr. Whitehurst, and a vase containing a manzanita branch. The walls are American Clay plaster, which lends the room a soft, organic sensibility.

The two walls opposite feature large windows that open onto the tops of aspen trees, giving the room a diffuse light. The floors are handscraped pine with a special finish, covered by a cowhide layered with a kilim, visible just between the table legs. The chair, which belonged to Mrs. Whitehurst’s grandmother, has been refurbished with a modern textile from Donghia, and covered with a suede pillow with rivets and trim.

The suzani on the table was purchased at Ann Lawrence textiles.

Four of these whimsical chairs sit atop an antelope-print wool rug, about 30 by 14 feet, in what Samuel calls the gallery, though it is actually a large entryway. The Venetian mirror belonged to Mrs. Whitehurst’s grandmother, and to the side is a standing candelabra embellished with folk chains. The bright orange in the next room is part of a painting

by Santa Fe artist Poteet Victory of McClary Modern gallery; below it is a chest on a metal stand designed by Samuel and built by local craftsmen that was featured on the cover of New Mexico Magazine in April 2010.

This courtyard in the back of the house had four concrete chairs, one visible in the foreground, that were too heavy to move. Samuel covered them with comfortable cushions made of outdoor velvet; against the wall is a stucco bench with hand-painted designs, throw pillows, and cushions. Under the recessed window opposite are two “really fun” ice chests featuring antler handles, says Samuel. The other side of this courtyard includes a magnificent fireplace. The Whitehursts’ large dogs “lead a great life” in the home, says Samuel—though they are not allowed on the furniture.

The home includes multiple outdoor seating areas to accommodate the seasons and time of day. This one is in the front of the house, beneath the living room balcony. The Whitehursts added a portico with flagstone floor.

The wicker-look furniture is designed for outdoor use, as are the cushions and drapery (to shield the sun). The large pillar sculptures, purchased in Dallas, double as torches. The portico, like all the other spaces around the home, partake of what Samuel calls “the alchemy of space,” the art of blending existing and new design elements. R

The Institute of American Indian Arts Campus: A Nexus of Ancient and New

P

aul Fragua remembers watching a construction engineer out in the June heat one summer in the late 1990s, physically charting the sun’s precise path for days before, during, and after the solstice.

The engineer could have relied on computer modeling to site a planned walkway at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) campus being built on rolling, open land south of Santa Fe. But the design and construction of the campus was emerging from a vision as deeply and directly connected with the land and Native past as with the contemporary expressions in Native art for which it was being built.

Fragua, an architect and Pueblo of Jemez tribal member, was among those involved in creating IAIA’s campus master plan, completed in 1993. Serving as the school’s new campus project 144 Trend » Fall 2011/Winter 2012 trendmagazineglobal.com

coordinator until 2006, he was part of a team that included Native-owned architectural and construction firms, elders from numerous tribes, the IAIA board, and the school’s administrators, faculty, students, and staff. Just as IAIA students and graduates since the school’s founding have drawn on centuries of tradition to explore and continuously expand the boundaries of contemporary Native art, the campus itself was designed to reflect the age-old multidimensional spiral of time, space, and cultures—intersected with cutting-edge precision by the art and technology being created and used today.

As he watched the construction engineer at work, Fragua recalled the powerful experience of seeing the Sun Dagger at Chaco Canyon, where a knifelike edge of solstice sunlight precisely intersects a spiral etched in rock. On the IAIA campus,

“As we stood there, an eagle came from the southeast. It circled the hogan four times, and then flew away. I gave a big sigh of relief, knowing this was blessed.

It was a wonderful feeling—a remarkable time.”—Della Warrior

the walkway aligned with the solstice sun intersects concentric circles of buildings and sidewalks leading out from a large dance circle in the middle of campus. Also radiating from the circle are walkways and structures aligned with the four cardinal directions.

And to acknowledge the sacred directions of earth and sky, the grassy central circle is slightly recessed, kiva-like. Surrounding the campus are vistas of mountains sacred to the area’s Native people, domed by the wide circle of sky.

KITTY LEAKIN/COURTESY OF IAIA (2)

Looking back The IAIA was established in 1962 under the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs as a high school, initially situated on the campus of the Santa Fe Indian School. Under the vision of Lloyd Kiva New and other early leaders, it offered what at the time was a radical approach to Native art education, throwing off the strictures of stereotype and expectation and opening the way for generations of artists to find their own creative voices. In 1975 IAIA became a twoyear college, and in 1980 it moved to temporary facilities (World War II barracks) on the College of Santa Fe campus, adding courses focused on the preservation of traditional as well as contemporary

expressions of Native cultures, languages, and art. A small, crowded museum space on the Indian School campus was replaced in 1992 by the IAIA Museum—now the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts—in downtown Santa Fe. As the country’s only four-year fine arts degree college devoted to contemporary Native art, the IAIA was without a campus of its own for almost 40 years. Yet even in crowded conditions in borrowed space with inadequate facilities and equipment, it produced a stellar roster of nationally and internationally renowned artists. Among them: Earl Biss, T.C. Cannon, Dan Namingha, Doug Hyde, Roxanne Swentzell, Joy Harjo, and Kevin Red Star. Acclaimed artists who have served as faculty include Allan Houser, Charles Loloma, Otellie Loloma, and Fritz Scholder. Ten current IAIA students were invited to take part in the 2011 Venice Biennale, and six of those attended.

The IAIA’s longtime dream of a home of its own began to take shape in 1990, when the developers of Rancho Viejo south of Santa Fe donated 140 acres for a new campus. Starting with an expanse of beautiful but raw land, the school undertook an intense visioning Family housing (at left), the Science and Technology building, and the Center for Lifelong Education are process that resulted in a master plan.

Douglas Cardinal drew up the initial plan. Known for his signature curvilinear style, Cardinal has been involved in the design of such acclaimed structures as the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. “Part of that early activity was to look at the history of Native American architecture and the built environment,” recalls Fragua. “Since the school draws students from all over the world, we looked at common Native themes, and included some of those in the design.” As it turned out, Cardinal’s concept of building the entire campus in one phase was not financially possible, and a series of New Mexico-based Native-owned architectural firms soon took over the project. Yet much of the spirit of the master plan eventually was realized.

Emerging from the center The heart of that vision is the campus’s central circle, reflecting the primacy of the circle in the Native world view—the circle of life, family, elders, and tribe, the circle of the drum, of the medicine wheel, of landforms and sky, and circular, or cyclical, time. The creation stories of many tribal cultures tell of the people’s emergence or birth from a “center place,” notes Fragua. In this sense the campus circle—used for dances, graduation, and other ceremonies—serves as a powerful symbol for an institution focused on the emergence of new forms of expression in Native art that radiate out to the world.

In siting buildings around the circle, campus designers located facilities according to the times of day and types of activities traditionally associated with each of the cardinal directions. “It’s very similar to when a newborn is welcomed into a community: The baby’s place in the community is determined by family relationships,” explains Dyron Murphy, an architect and Navajo whose Albuquerque-based firm designed the latest phase of construction, completed in 2010. “We look

at buildings almost as extensions of human bodies and ourselves.”

East is the direction of dawn, with prayers offered in that direction at the birth of day, Murphy points out. The first structure on IAIA land, a two-story log hogan, was built in 1999 east of where the main campus would lie, using donated materials and volunteer labor. The hogan serves primarily as a cultural space for ceremonial activities befitting its location in the sacred east, Murphy says.

Della Warrior, of the Otoe-Missouria tribe in Oklahoma, was president of IAIA when the hogan and other initial structures were built. She was standing with Blackfeet IAIA board member Tom Thompson of Montana the day the hogan was completed and blessed, signifying a homecoming for the school at last. “I will never forget that day,” she says. “As we stood there, an eagle came from the southeast. It circled the hogan four times, and then flew away. I gave a big sigh of relief, knowing this was blessed. It was a wonderful feeling—a remarkable time.”

Into the 21st century The east, direction of new birth, is appropriately also the direction of the IAIA’s latest claim to distinction, a state-of-the-art multimedia digital dome. In the school’s Science and Technology building, opened in the fall of 2010, the dome more than any other physical feature represents the dynamic intersection of an ancient worldview and groundbreaking developments in the realms of technology and art.

The planetarium-like half-dome screen, suspended on a support structure with seating beneath it in a night-dark space, allows viewers to watch images or films from multiple, computer-synchronized digital projectors. It is one of the only digital domes in the world that can be rotated a full 90 degrees, from straight overhead to sideways in front of the audience. It can also be raised or lowered 18 feet, its trendmagazineglobal.com Fall 2011/Winter 2012 » Trend 147

lowest point four feet from the floor. The result is a powerfully encompassing audiovisual experience that allows for virtually limitless exploration in the realms of new media and immersive arts.

For Native artists, the digital dome can create a “virtual kiva,” an encircling storytelling space where the realities of contemporary Native experience find expression in innovative technologies, notes Carlos Peinado (Hidatsa/Mandan), chair of the school’s New Media Arts Department. David Beining, director of Immersive Media at the University of New Mexico, who served as consultant on the dome, describes it as a medium “built for a worldview that many Native Americans and First Nations peoples have—people who think less linearly and more holistically, in a more circular way.”

For Jessie Bennett, a Navajo majoring in graphic design and new media arts, the digital dome and computer-aided courses have opened doors not only in visual arts but also in new ways to preserve the old. Using the dome, Bennett is experimenting with converting

her paintings to digitally projected form. And with newly acquired computer skills she has created a Navajo-language tutorial application, similar to English-to-Navajo flash cards in computerized form.

Navajo student McKeon Dempsey, a senior majoring in studio art and photography, uses the more established technology of the camera to convey her view of issues facing the contemporary Native world. A series of images Dempsey produced on domestic violence are immensely moving, giving voice to experiences both personal and universal, remarks fellow student Bennett.

Across campus from the Science and Technology building, the direction of the setting sun references home, family, and coming back together, says Murphy. The original student housing, now serving as family housing, is on the west side of campus. It incorporates Native living patterns borrowed from Chaco Canyon and other cultures. Three clusters of two-bedroom residences feature common living areas, as well as a fire pit, walking circle, and other outdoor activity areas. Each cluster of houses faces inward, creating a protective, sheltered feeling.

In 2008 a 77-room, dormitory-style residence hall was built southwest of the circle near the Center for Lifelong Education, which houses the campus café, bookstore, conference rooms, and offices for student life. The siting of the center suggests a transition between the south—associated with work, production, and play—and the homecoming significance of the west. To the north of the circle, the original academic and administrative building has been joined by maintenance and facilities shops. The north represents nighttime, rejuvenation, and restoration, and is where the eld148 Trend » Fall 2011/Winter 2012 trendmagazineglobal.com

ers are placed in the circle of life; it is the direction from which guidance comes, Murphy explains.

Earth connection The design and architecture of the IAIA campus also fuses ancient and modern in its emphasis on sustainability, energy efficiency, and the use of locally obtained, earth-friendly materials—all aspects of traditional Native building. Among the green building elements are sensor-controlled lighting and daylighting, rooftop water harvesting for landscaping, air exchange systems, and the use of local and recycled materials. Architects on the school’s early phases worked with world-renowned renewable energy expert Ed Mazria, while later architects and IAIA administrators looked to the ever-growing field of eco-friendly design. The IAIA’s Center for Lifelong Learning and Science and Technology buildings both earned gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, while the Sculpture and Foundry building received silver LEED certification.

Visually, the academic/administration building also reflects the time-honored philosophy of honesty in the use of materials, Fragua relates. The structure’s raw concrete walls and floors and exposed steel beams and mechanical systems are a contemporary expression of materials in their natural state—like cedar planks in a Northwest longhouse, or the adobes of a Pueblo home. “We got cues from around the country,” Fragua notes, adding that the campus must cradle and reflect the diverse cultures of a student body drawn from hundreds of North American tribes, as well as non-Native and international students.

It also must be able to grow. With some 350 students, the school hopes to expand its instruction space by adding an administrative wing to the Science and Technology building, according to IAIA President Robert Martin, Cherokee from Oklahoma. Other priorities include a future fitness and wellness facility and a performing arts center. With the latter, the school could reintroduce theater, dance, and other performing arts degrees that were cut during a budget crises in the mid-1990s when the school survived a neardeath experience.

While many specifics from the IAIA’s original master plan did not become part of the eventual campus, the inspiration behind that vision endures. “A lot of the spirit carried forward. I’m very pleased with both Della Warrior and Bob Martin; they’ve done a great job of getting the campus actualized. It’s beautiful,” remarks Kathryn Harris Tijerina (Comanche), IAIA’s president when the master plan was created.

The casual visitor may not be aware of radiating arms on an axis of cardinal directions, but the result of the intense process that produced the campus design—mirroring the school’s curriculum and philosophy at the nexus of ancient and cutting edge—lives on.

“There were a lot of prayers and dialogue and conversations that took place,” Fragua reflects, “and the power of that is still there. The exchange of our breath is still there.” R

Top: A 77-room, dormitorystyle residence hall sits to the southwest of the campus circle, symbolizing a transition between the cardinal direction of south—associated with work, production, and play— and the homecoming significance of the west.

rchaeo Architects specializes in creating award-winning, meticulously detailed homes that are at one with the landscape. This home, which earned the Grand Hacienda Award in the 2011 Parade of Homes, provides a serene, secluded retreat in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. The architecture recedes to frame panoramic views, and light is used as a form-defining element. Paying close attention to the topography of the steep lot allowed for minimal intervention onto the site. While the home feels strongly anchored, this sense of connection with the earth is wonderfully contrasted with open, elevated views of the Jemez mountains. As a result, the home appears to emerge and ascend from the landscape, rather than being imposed on it.

The contemporary design, with expanses of glass and a strong sense of mass, is more than balanced by the warmth created by the use of indigenous materials such as timber, slate, and stone.

Among the most recent pieces for his longtime client’s San Francisco loft are a site-specific china hutch of salvaged mahogany, a black walnut and sycamore desk, and a dining table incorporating bent lamination in curly cherry wood. Neander’s beautifully designed, impeccably crafted work is on view at La Mesa of Santa Fe, a source for exceptional handcrafted items since 1982.

ell-chosen lighting, tile, and bathroom fixtures and accessories—key elements in beautiful interior design—often are the result of a more intensive collaborative effort than we might imagine. In this exquisitely designed home, owners Simon and Mindy Teolis worked closely with a powerhouse team of professionals.

Bob Schwarz of Santa Fe by Design picked up on Mindy’s vision and provided such stunning bathroom elements as a hand-glazed crystalline above-counter sink in the powder room. And Kim White, owner of Statements in Tile/Lighting/Kitchens/Flooring, helped make spot-on choices including textured stone tile for interior and exterior flooring, and metallic porcelain tile with the look of rolled steel to wrap the fireplace. Notes Santa Fe by Design co-owner Kathy Anne Fennema, “The Teolis home was one of those collaborations we all loved.”

ictoria Price’s sophisticated, eclectic interior design aesthetic combines beautifully with the classic elements of Old Santa Fe style. Such was the case with a remodel that transformed a distinctive, quintessentially wonderful Santa Fe house into an even more lovely and livable family home. By raising a low ceiling and combining the kitchen and dining room, a spacious, all-white country contemporary kitchen/dining area was created, with added windows and French doors providing generous light and access to the outdoors. A library was transformed into a teenager’s room, and a basement became a colorful, contemporary, indestructible space for kids. The client was a design enthusiast herself, which added to the project’s successful use of creative collaboration.

Among these: Dedon, Janus et Cie, Gandia Blasco, and Kenneth Cobonpue.

he only thing missing in the authenticity of this fireplace—with its warmth, beauty, and naturalistic logs and flame pattern—is old-fashioned inefficiency. Instead, this high-performance gas fireplace provides energy-efficient heat output in a handsome traditional design. Firebird has been northern New Mexico’s trusted source in fireplace and wood stove choices for almost 25 years. The model chosen by these Santa Fe homeowners features a French Country–style faceplate with antiqued, burnished gold finish, enhanced by elegant limestone-like cast stone for the mantel and generous hearth. The fireplace complements the room’s spacious scale and understated Southwest design. “It’s functional, beautiful, and—of great importance for us—also environmentally friendly,” the homeowner says. “We’re extremely pleased, and the Firebird’s service is unequaled!”

t was a lovely Santa Fe home nestled into the mountainside and completed just a couple of years ago. But because the original builder neglected to stabilize the hillside for runoff, each heavy rain brought a flow of water and mud onto the home’s back portal.

Hagen Builders was called in to remedy the situation. A series of granite-lined terraces were built into the hillside, filled with highquality topsoil and irrigation, and planted with trees and shrubs. Then Hagen installed brick between the home and terrace wall, skillfully matching lines and color with the existing patio and stone. The result: a beautiful, livable backyard that visually merges with the land beyond, while also addressing the practical matter of shoring up the hillside.

ncient North African cultures meet contemporary Santa Fe in this elegantly designed great room, thanks to Santa Kilim. The centerpiece is an antique handpainted Berber dowry chest from Morocco. It sits on an exquisite Turkish Oushak carpet, woven with antique wool in an 1860s design.

Handcrafted Moroccan ceramic and pewter lamps grace the hearth, while pillows were made by Santa Kilim from silk velvet ikat-dyed fabric from Uzbekistan. The fabric—along with an array of other imported items— is available at Santa Kilim’s Canyon Road location, where the mystique of a Moroccan market is evoked in its narrow hallways and sumptuously adorned rooms. Santa Kilim’s skilled craftsmen can also transform antique imported items into functional custom furniture and architectural elements to enhance any style of décor.
