Members: Explore the architectural legacy of John Gaw Meem, an influential American architect based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Meem is best known for his pioneering work in the Pueblo Revival Style and advocacy for Regionalism against international modernism. Our tour, led by local architectural historian Chuck Benson, delves into Meem’s innovative fusion of Art Deco and Depression Modern Styles with Southwest Native American inspired motifs. Discover the monolithic and monumental concrete structures adorned with intricate details that symbolize Meem’s vision. We’ll explore external and internal spaces, showcasing the genius behind the Fine Arts Center building. Join us to unravel Meem’s Magnum Opus, celebrated as his greatest architectural achievement, and gain a deeper appreciation for his impactful contributions to the architectural landscape.
