Southwestern Architecture is a style that reflects the cultural influences of the American Southwest, particularly from Native American, Spanish, and Mexican traditions. Characterized by adobe structures, earthy colors, and flat roofs, this architecture often incorporates natural materials like wood and stone. The design typically emphasizes harmony with the surrounding landscape, featuring large windows to capture views and natural light. Common elements include kiva fireplaces, courtyards, and vigás, which are wooden beams that support the roof. This style not only serves practical purposes but also celebrates the region's rich history and cultural diversity.
