Publisher's Comments
This elegant book focuses on Predock's work over a 40-year period by engaging in detail with ten of his projects. The title alludes to the architect's intense involvement with the landscape of his native New Mexico and his statement that "The roadcut is a diagram of the investigative process for the making or architecture." A gorgeous photo accompanies the full quote at the beginning of the volume, which is beautifully designed and includes numerous photos and drawings. Projects include La Luz and Rio Grande Nature Center, (Albuquerque, New Mexico), Turtle Creek House (Dallas, Texas), Arizona Science Center (Phoenix), and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (Winnipeg, Canada), among others. Mead (architecture and art history, U. of New Mexico) brings to the narrative his enthusiastic involvement with Predock's work for over 30 years.
