ReVISION: The Future of Santa Fe Style Design Charrette

Since 1912, Santa Fe’s regional architectural style has been overwhelmingly successful in accomplishing its explicit goals of promoting tourism and economic development. Given the unique challenges we face more than a century later, how might we reimagine the Santa Fe Style? Reevaluate its purpose? Reassess its values and audience? Recover its design creativity and vision of the future?

Friends of Architecture Santa Fe created ReVISION, a series 4 events examining the City Different as it appeared at key moments from 1912 to the present and beyond. The series culminated in an all day design charrette exploring the future of Santa Fe style using futurism frameworks, ultimately culminating in the creation of artifacts from these imagined futures.
