Incan Architecture - Machu Pichu and Cuzco __ "The Inca were a small highland group who established themselves in the Cuzco Valley of Andean South America around 1000, with the city of Cuzco as their capital. In the fifteenth century, however, they rapidly extended their power until their empire stretched from modern Quito, Ecuador, to central Chile, a distance of more then three-thousand miles." You will find a text overview and slides. - illustrated - From bornemania.com - http://www.bornemania.com/civ/incan_architecture/index.html
Inka Architecture __ "The essence of Inka architecture cannot be distilled into
a single word. Three themes demand recognition: precision, functionality, and
austerity. The Inka stonefitters worked stone with a precision unparalleled in
human history; their architects clearly esteemed functionality above decoration;
yet their constructions achieved breathtaking beauty through austerity of line
and juxtaposition of masses. The Inka seem to have presaged Mies Van der Rohe's
philosophy of "less is more". A good overview. - illustrated - From rutahsa.com
