The richness of desert cultures in all their particular uniqueness are architectures for artistic inspiration, serving one generation to the next. There is peculiar grace, a shifting ever changing quality to the distinct cultures that move through deserts of the world. A region may be defined as being ‘Native Indian’, ‘Spanish Colonial’, ‘North African / Moorish’ or ‘Early European influence but the beauty of many parts the American southwest is the confluence of cultures where ‘influence’ may seem to be appearing as one thing but simultaneously is also the opposite. The wilderness landscape too is shaped by cultural prejudices & aesthetics. Often there are places of natural wilderness that appear to have been shaped by the hand of a gardener , at once ordered with a natural grace and design yet simultaneously disordered and wild. a savage garden or a wilderness tamed.
