What’s New is old for Taos Architecture: Architects in Taos Find Tomorrow’s Design Informed by the Past

When it comes to what makes a place, history is important.  One must always look deeper to the layers underneath that form the foundation to see clearly. Here in Northern New Mexico, the ground literally unearths itself. Tectonics, geology and time work passively to reveal the layers at the surface without having to dig. This also applies to contemporary design in Taos, at Henry Architects.

Couse-Sharp Gala Opening of the Lunder Archives (Henry Architects Design)

Anyone who regularly drives along Kit Carson Road surely watched with curiosity as the old Mission Gallery underwent a facelift. Even after a sign was hung—Lunder Research Center—the new facade gave little away, and what was behind the adobe walls remained a mystery for many.  The time has finally come for the answers, however, as the Lunder Research Center is now ready to throw open its doors and invite the public in to the expanded Couse-Sharp Historic Site campus.
