Cliff
Palace At Mesa Verde Cliff
Palace is the iconic
cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde National Park. Built by the ancient
anasazi people, the square tower house appears today much as it
was in the late 13th century. Rooms were added, abandoned,
modified throughout its occupation, creating the dense clustering of
rooms with its size that intrigues me. The layering and
massing of forms create an architecture similar to the modern movement
of the twentieth century.
