The Art of Urbanism: How Mesoamerican Kingdoms Represented Themselves in Architecture and Imagery
William L. Fash
This volume explores how ancient Mesoamerican cities defined themselves through their built environments. Themes include the ways in which a kingdom's monuments reflected geographic space, patron gods, and mythology, and how the Olmec, Maya, Mexica, Zapotecs, and others sought to center their world through architectural monuments and public art.
